Advertising Policy

monero.how accepts a limited amount of advertising to support the project while protecting user trust. This policy explains what we allow, what we reject, and how ads are delivered on the site.

Core principles

  • User trust comes first. Advertising must not degrade the educational value of the site.
  • Privacy by default. No behavioral profiling, no cross-site tracking, no third-party ad networks.
  • Transparency. Sponsored placements are clearly labeled.
  • Quality and safety. We reject deceptive, harmful, or misleading products and claims.

What we do not allow

  • ❌ Trackers or invasive scripts (pixels, fingerprinting, cross-site trackers, session replay, “beacons”, etc.)
  • ❌ Third-party ad networks or programmatic auctions
  • ❌ “Privacy” services that are KYC-heavy or misleadingly marketed as private
  • ❌ Scams, rug-pulls, deceptive projects, or misleading claims
  • ❌ Malware, downloads that bundle unwanted software, or any form of user exploitation
  • ❌ Aggressive popups, auto-redirects, or “dark patterns”
  • ❌ Adult content, hate content, or illegal products/services

What we do allow

  • ✅ Privacy-respecting crypto and tech services
  • ✅ Wallets, infrastructure, nodes/hosting, hardware, and security tooling
  • ✅ Exchanges and on/off-ramps only if marketed honestly (no “privacy-washing”)
  • ✅ Educational sponsorships that align with the site’s mission

How ads are delivered

monero.how uses a lightweight, direct-sold advertising system. Ads are served from monero.how infrastructure, using static creatives and first-party redirects.

  • No third-party scripts are allowed in ad creatives.
  • Ad creatives are typically static images (WebP/PNG/SVG).
  • Links may use first-party redirect endpoints (e.g., /out/…). Redirects work without JavaScript, but current click measurement depends on browser-side analytics.

Measurement and reporting

Across advertising and sponsorship products, measurement and optional reporting are limited to aggregate impressions and clicks where technically supported. We do not build user profiles or track users across sites. Details of site analytics are described in the Privacy Policy.

  • Impressions for instrumented banners are counted when at least 50% of the creative is visible on-screen, where browser analytics and visibility observation are supported.
  • Clicks are measured by browser-side analytics on supported ad and recommended links, including links using first-party redirects. Blocked or unavailable JavaScript or analytics can prevent measurement.
  • No cookies or personal identifiers are required for advertising measurement.
  • Advertisers do not receive user-level information, individual visitor histories or access to analytics dashboards; aggregate summaries can be provided on request where supported. Not every placement supports both metrics.

Sponsored content and “Recommended Tools”

Sponsored guides

Sponsored articles or guides are allowed if they provide educational value and align with monero.how standards. They are clearly labeled, for example:

“Sponsored by [Brand] — Educational content reviewed by monero.how”

  • Sponsored content must be accurate and non-deceptive.
  • Final editorial review remains with monero.how.
  • Paid promotional links use rel="sponsored" or rel="sponsored nofollow". Editorial links remain independent; search-ranking improvements are not a paid benefit.

Recommended Tools sections

monero.how may include curated “Recommended Tools” lists (e.g., wallets, VPNs, mining pools, infrastructure). Listings may be:

  • Editorial (unpaid)
  • Affiliate (commission-based)
  • Sponsored (paid placement)

Sponsored listings are clearly labeled as sponsored and are not inherently exclusive. Neither a sponsored listing nor an exclusive sponsorship purchases an independent editorial recommendation. Paid and affiliate links use sponsored attributes. Acceptance is subject to the same strict standards in this policy.

Exclusive Section Sponsorships

Only one paid subsection sponsor is permitted in the agreed named subsection during a sponsorship term. Placements are visibly labeled “Sponsored”. Exclusivity does not extend to other subsections, the entire webpage or website, or independent editorial listings of competing services. Sponsorship does not imply an independent recommendation, endorsement, favorable editorial coverage or superior ranking.

monero.how retains editorial independence and may reject, pause or remove unsuitable promotions. Sponsor descriptions, claims, links and visual assets require approval. Static, first-party-hosted creative is preferred; third-party tracking scripts, pixels and invasive advertising are prohibited. Paid links use rel="sponsored" or rel="sponsored nofollow". The aggregate measurement and optional reporting rules above apply where technically supported.

Disclosure

When a placement is sponsored or includes affiliate links, we aim to disclose it clearly and prominently. If you believe any disclosure is missing or unclear, please contact us.

Right to reject or remove

monero.how reserves the right to reject, pause, or remove any advertiser or placement at any time, including if new information arises or if the advertising conflicts with our standards.

Donations are separate

Donations support the project and are not advertising. Donations do not influence editorial content. If you’d like to support monero.how directly, see Donate.
