1 Recommended Answer 3 Replies 23 Upvotes Our ads were disapproved awhile back for non https website without us realizing. I read that only sites that collect information needed an SSL certificate to run Google Ads, and we do not collect any information. Therefore, do we need an SSL certificate? As we host our own site, i'm reading up on getting one now.

In some cases it is possible to run ads without an SSL - however, it is best practice to have it. If your ads were disapproved for the lack thereof I'd just spend the time to get it setup.
