Our Commitment to a Positive User Experience

We understand that advertisements can sometimes be disruptive. That is why we are committed to maintaining a positive and distraction-free learning environment. We follow these principles when displaying ads:

We carefully consider where advertisements are placed on our website. Our goal is to ensure that ads are visible but do not distract from the primary purpose of each page—learning. We prioritize the user experience and will always put educational content first.
