Ads on Government Websites

Requested from DFA by D. Maputol at 07:08 PM on Jan 24, 2024.
Purpose: Research and development
Date of Coverage: 12/01/2023 - 01/24/2024
Tracking no: #DFA-755313613085

Hi,

I would like to seek clarification on the permissibility of displaying advertisements, particularly Google Ads, on government websites such as embassy websites. I am concerned about the impact on the site's professionalism, particularly when the ads occupy a significant portion of the page—up to 1/4 in some instances. Additionally, when accessing the website via mobile devices, the appearance of intrusive ads that hinder direct navigation to the intended content raises further concerns. I appreciate your insights on this matter.
