  • For EEA and UK users: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
  • For all other users: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

Google AdSense uses the DoubleClick DART cookie and related ad technology cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites in Google's network, your approximate location (country or region level only), your device type, browser type, and language settings, contextual signals from the content of the page you are viewing, and browsing history and inferred interests where consent is given.

7. Google AdSense for Search / RSOC Advertising

This Website may display search-based advertisements powered by Google AdSense for Search (AFS) and Related Search on Content (RSOC). These units show contextually relevant search-term suggestions that, when clicked, display paid search results from Google's Search Partner Network.

  • Suggestion units are generated from page content and contextual signals
  • Clicking a suggested term may load paid advertiser results
  • Revenue is earned per qualifying click through Google's AFS programme
  • No additional personal data beyond standard AdSense cookies is collected specifically by these units

This Website may use AFS/RSOC through authorised feed providers. The operator of ssdfly.com remains responsible for policy compliance regardless of the feed source used. This Website operates AFS/RSOC in accordance with Google AdSense Programme Policies, Google AFS Terms of Service, and Google's Restricted Access Features (RAF) policy.

These providers may use cookies, pixels, and device identifiers to measure video ad viewability and completion rates, serve relevant video ads based on interests or contextual signals, limit frequency of video ads shown to you, and report aggregate performance data to advertisers. For EEA / UK / Switzerland users, video advertising cookies are only activated after you provide explicit consent.

9. Native Advertising and Content Recommendations

This Website may display native advertising widgets and content recommendation units powered by third-party networks. These units blend with editorial content and are labelled "Sponsored" or "Recommended." Native ad providers may use cookies to serve relevant sponsored content based on your browsing behaviour.
