How MoosingChomp ads work
A short, plain account of what you see on a page and what happens behind it.
What an ad is
An ad is a short piece of text, sometimes with a picture, that points to another one of our sites. It is always labeled Ad. When you select it, the link opens in a new tab.
Which sites show them
The sites that show MoosingChomp ads belong to the NeoNue network. A small mark in the footer of each site says so and links to the list of member sites.
Who decides what appears
- A person writes each ad and approves the exact words and the exact link.
- An ad is approved for named sites only. It does not appear anywhere else.
- If the words, the link or the picture change, the old approval no longer applies and the ad needs approving again.
- We can switch any ad, any site, or everything off. It takes a few minutes to reach every visitor, because pages and files are kept for a short time. A page that is already open keeps what it has until it is reloaded.
What your browser loads
When a page shows a MoosingChomp ad, your browser asks moosingchomp.com for up to three small files:
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
| The ad script | A small program that reads the list and draws the ad. It never changes the rest of the page. |
| The list of ads | A small data file. It holds the approved ads, with their words and links. |
| A picture | Only if the ad has one. |
Your browser asks for these the way it asks for any file on the web. The web host and its network can see the request, including your IP address and your browser details.
What is not stored
- No cookies and no browser storage.
- No account, no profile and no tracking across sites.
- Views and clicks are not counted today.
If you would rather not see them
An ad blocker works. The page looks and behaves the same without the ad.
