Advertising disclosure

Public Health Trace uses Google AdSense to serve advertising. Google's own script may place ads automatically in and around the page; any ad Google serves is always labeled "Ad" or "Advertisement" so it's never mistaken for Public Health Trace's own recall, outbreak, or surveillance content.

Some pages also reserve fixed layout space labeled plainly as "Advertisement" for future manual ad placements. Those reserved spaces are not yet wired to serve live ad content -- they remain placeholders today, separate from the automatic placements described above.

Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, which may include personalized ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. See Google's how Google uses information from sites that use its services page for details, and Google's Ads Settings to opt out of personalized advertising.

Advertising never influences which recalls or outbreaks are shown or how they're described -- that data comes directly from official government sources, described in our methodology and editorial policy. If the advertising provider or approach changes, this page will be updated to match.

Questions about this policy can be sent through our contact form.
