    The number of ad impressions is displayed to the customer daily, for the previous day or days, in the Control Panel (My Account).

    Through the algorithms we use, we strive not to count those ad impressions that we suspect were not delivered to devices actually used by human users.

    These algorithms are implemented on a "best effort" basis, as web technologies are constantly evolving.

    We are proud of our publication and the work we do, which is why we have designed algorithms for counting advertising impressions in a strict manner, striving to ensure that those who advertise with us are satisfied with the services we provide.
