Anchor ads | Turn this option off if you don't want to show anchor ads.
Anchor ads stick to the edge of the user's screen and are easily dismissible. These ads mainly serve on mobile but can appear on desktop too. They appear at the top of the user's screen unless we determine that this would negatively affect the user experience, in which case we show them at the bottom. When shown at the top, anchor ads only appear after the user has scrolled down far enough, so that they never cover your site's branding or navigation. |

Vignette ads | Turn this option off if you don't want to show vignettes.
Vignette ads are full-screen ads that appear between page loads and can be skipped by users at any time.
