EthicalAds

EthicalAds is an ad network for developers that's designed to protect privacy while still targeting ads to the right audience and showing ads that are contextually relevant. It combines AI-powered contextual and geographic targeting to match ads with the right audience.

EthicalAds doesn't use cookies or third-party scripts to track users, which means it's fully GDPR and CCPA compliant without needing a cookie banner. Advertisers and publishers get transparent reporting on ad placement and performance, which helps build trust and control.

The service is geared for a variety of developer personas, including frontend and backend web developers, data scientists, DevOps engineers and others. AI-powered audience classification means ads are targeted toward the most relevant audience.

Publishers can sign up to join the network to monetize developer-focused sites without tracking, and ad placement is a relatively simple integration. Advertisers can target specific developer niches with contextual targeting and get detailed reporting on ad performance.

EthicalAds pricing varies depending on the region and topics you're targeting. For the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand, prices range from $4.75 to $6.50 per thousand impressions, depending on the topic. Discounts apply to larger ad buys and auto-renewing campaigns.

EthicalAds is a transparent and privacy-first alternative to traditional ad networks, and that makes it a good option for developers and publishers who want to protect users' privacy while still offering targeted ads.
