Advertising & Funding

ValidatesOnline may use clearly labeled advertising to support free public tools. Advertising does not influence security verdicts, scores, tool routing, recommended actions, or editorial guidance.

Ads will not be presented as analysis findings, download buttons, official reporting links, or emergency actions. Sensitive evidence entered into browser-local tools is not intentionally shared with advertisers by ValidatesOnline.

If Google advertising is enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads where permitted. Consent controls and the privacy notice will be updated before personalized advertising is activated in applicable regions.

We do not accept payment to mark a message, website, app, payment proof, or file as safe. Sponsored material, if any, will be identified.
