The ads in our programme are reviewed according to their specific advertising guidelines. While we make every effort to ensure that ads which may violate our policies do not run prior to review, some ads may run on Google before our specialists check them.
When you block an ad in your Ad Review Centre, you can also report that ad if you think it violates our policies. We may not review all of the ads that you report, but we will incorporate your feedback into our review process.
