Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: 31 October 2026

1. Why there are ads

Running this Site costs money — hosting, domain, and development time. Rather than charge for access or put features behind a login, we show adverts. That keeps every wheel free for everyone, with no account required.

2. Who supplies the ads

Adverts are supplied by third-party advertising networks. We do not sell advertising directly, and we do not choose which specific adverts you see — that is decided by the ad network's systems.

Because of this, an advert appearing on this Site is not an endorsement, review, or recommendation by us. We do not verify advertisers' claims, and we have no relationship with the companies whose adverts appear.

3. How adverts are labelled

Every advertising slot on this Site is marked with the word "Advertisement". We do not disguise adverts as wheel results, buttons, entries, or site content, and we never place adverts where they could be mistaken for part of the tool. The formats described in section 4 appear outside these slots and come directly from the ad network.

4. Ad formats we use

Some adverts may appear in the marked slots described above. Other adverts may appear outside the slots:

• Pop-under ads — after you click on the page, an advert may open in a new tab or window behind this one. Close it like any other tab.
• Full-screen ads (interstitials) that cover the page until you close them.
• Notification-style ads — small cards in a corner of the page. They are part of the page, not browser notifications, and never ask for permission.
• Video ads in a small player in a corner of the page.
• Pinned banner ads that stay in a corner of the screen as you scroll, on larger screens only.

They are not loaded inside a wheel embedded on another website, or when your browser's data-saver mode is on.

Ads meant only for adults are shown only to visitors who confirm they are 18 or older. If you say you are under 18, or don't answer, they are not shown — and Picker Wheel works exactly the same either way. You can change your answer at any time.

What we still do not do:

• No adverts inside the wheel or disguised as spin results.
• No browser notification sign-ups for advertising.

If you use Picker Wheel in a classroom, or would simply rather not see these formats, switch ads off in Cookie Settings. The tool keeps working exactly the same.

5. Cookies and personalised advertising

Ad networks may use cookies and similar technologies to measure adverts and, where permitted, to personalise them based on your browsing.

Ads load as soon as you open the Site. If you would rather not see them, switch them off via Cookie Settings:

• No advertising scripts are loaded on your device after that.
• The tool itself works exactly the same either way. No feature is withheld based on your choice.

You can switch ads back on from the same place at any time.

6. Your data

The entries you type into a wheel are stored only in your browser and are never sent to us or to any advertiser. Advertisers do not receive your wheel contents, your entry lists, or your results.

For the full picture, see our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

7. Affiliate links

At the time of writing, this Site does not use affiliate links and does not earn commission on purchases. If that changes, we will disclose it clearly on the pages concerned and update this page.

8. Sponsored content

We do not currently publish sponsored articles or paid reviews. Our blog posts are written independently. If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be labelled as such at the top of the article.

9. Reporting a problem advert

If you see an advert on this Site that is misleading, offensive, broken, or breaks the rules above, please tell us via the Contact page. Include the page you were on and a description or screenshot. We can block specific advertisers and categories, and we do.

10. Blocking ads

You are free to use an ad blocker. We do not detect ad blockers, and we will not restrict access to the wheels if you use one.
