These features are typically served through advertising partners such as; Google Adsense, eBay Partner Network, Amazon Affiliates, or could be self served through our own means. We would only ever use trusted advertising partners who each have high standards of user privacy and security, however we would not control the actual adverts seen / displayed by said advertising partners.
