Advertising and user experience
Advertising Policy
WhenIsDate may use advertising to support free date and time tools, but advertising should not make pages harder to use. The main answer, clock, calculator, calendar, or guide must remain easy to read before any monetization element.

Ad placement principles
Ads should not cover the primary answer, block a live tool, imitate navigation, or make the page look unfinished. On mobile, ads must not create large blank areas above the main content. Before approval, empty placeholder ad boxes should not be shown.
Editorial independence
Date answers, timezone explanations, holiday notes, and tool recommendations are not sold. Advertising relationships should not change the factual answer on a page. Sponsored links or paid placements should be labeled where required.
AdSense readiness
Before applying for advertising programs, the site should have real trust pages, helpful guide content, clean mobile UX, and no fake ad inventory. A page should be useful even if no ads are displayed.
User privacy
Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies and applicable law. Users can manage personalization through browser settings and ad partner controls.
Restricted content
WhenIsDate is a general utility site. Advertising must not promote misleading, harmful, illegal, or deceptive content. Ads should be separated from date/time answers and should not create confusion about official deadlines.
Future changes
Ad formats may change over time as the site improves. The standard remains the same: tools first, answers first, ads second.
What we avoid
We avoid placing ads in a way that hides the main answer, pushes the useful tool below unnecessary clutter, or creates a misleading impression that an ad is an official date result. Users should be able to identify the tool, read the answer, and navigate to related pages without fighting the layout.
Before an advertising program is active, pages should not show fake ad inventory. Empty boxes labeled as ad slots make a site feel unfinished and reduce trust. After approval, any advertising should be introduced gradually and tested against mobile readability, page speed, and user comprehension.
Ongoing review
This page is part of the site trust and quality system. We review these policy pages when new tools, datasets, advertising features, or editorial workflows are added. The practical standard is that users should understand what the site does, where the data comes from, how to report issues, and when they should verify an answer with an official source. Clear policies help keep the utility pages useful, accountable, and easier to evaluate.
