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.
