Advertising & independence

How advertising relates to our diagnostic guidance.

Updated 21 October 2026

Guidance comes first

You can complete a diagnosis and export its report without purchasing anything. Diagnostic branches do not depend on advertisers or affiliate commissions.

Where ads can appear

When enabled, labelled ads can appear beside reading content or after a completed guide. They do not replace answer buttons, interrupt a check, or imply that an advertised repair service has been verified by this site.

Current status

This site currently serves no advertising requests.

Advertising and privacy

Google privacy messaging is integrated with all advertising requests paused. The tag can process connection information and display regional privacy choices even though no ads are served. We will verify approval, consent behaviour and placement before activating advertising. Read our privacy notice for the current data handling.
