Advertising Transparency
Honesty is our core policy. We believe you deserve to know exactly how our monetization works, why we use ads, and how they are selected.
Why We Show Ads
At Endless Forge, our mission is to provide high-quality, unlimited tools for free. However, keeping a modern web platform running in 2026 involves real costs: high-performance servers, secure database storage, and continuous development by a single developer.
To maintain this balance between "Free for Everyone" and "Sustainable to Run," we partner with Google AdSense. These ads are the fuel that keeps the forge burning. They allow us to avoid putting our core utilities behind a paywall, ensuring that students, developers, and creatives worldwide can access our tools without financial barriers: in other words, ads are what make Endless Forge free. Yes. We also offer donations and subscriptions as alternative ways to support us, but ads remain the primary revenue source for those free users who cannot afford to pay.
For those users whose have a subscription purchased already, ads are not displayed. However, for those users who do not have a subscription, ads are shown to support the platform. Also, making a donation to us, do not hide ads for the user that made the donation.
Ad Placement & Frequency
We have carefully tuned our ad layout to ensure it supports the site without destroying your User Experience (UX). We strictly avoid intrusive pop-ups or screen-blocking overlays. Instead, we use fixed placements that respect your workflow.
Here is the exact breakdown of what you will see on our tool pages:
Desktop Experience
On larger screens, we display a total of 4 ad units per tool page. These are typically placed at both sides of the screen, top, and bottom, ensuring they are visible but not disruptive.
Mobile Experience
On mobile devices, screen real estate is precious. We reduce the load to just 2 ad units per tool page to ensure the actual tool remains the focus of your screen. Those ads are shown at top, and bottom of the page currently.
How Ads Are Selected (The 2026 Standard)
Programmatic Selection
It is important to clarify that we do not hand-pick the ads you see. The banners and text ads displayed on Endless Forge are chosen automatically by Google's algorithms in real-time. This process is known as Programmatic Advertising.
Google selects these ads based on what they believe is relevant to you, not necessarily what is relevant to our website. This means two different users on the same page might see completely different ads (e.g., one might see a cloud hosting offer, while another sees a fashion brand).
Your Privacy & Control
In compliance with modern 2026 privacy standards (including GDPR, CCPA, and updated Global Privacy Controls), these ads operate based on your consent.
- Personalization: If you have opted into personalized ads (via cookies or your Google account settings), you will see ads tailored to your interests.
- Transparency: You can always click the small "AdChoices" or "i" icon on any ad to see why that specific ad was shown to you or to block it. Or you can also don't consent the use of cookies for ads personalization by clicking "Don't consent" on the cookie banner shown at your first visit to our website.
If you ever encounter an ad that feels malicious, deceptive, or inappropriate, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can report and block it from our platform.
