Part of the whole DCM benefit thing is that we're not supposed to be getting ads. Today, I noticed those generic (non-gaming) banner ads showing up.

That's odd... I'm not seeing any at all.

Best if you provide all the relevant details, I think, so Lego can make a quick fix, if necessary.

Yes, it is checked.

This is on a Lenovo L460 laptop, Windows 10, Edge browser.

I've uploaded a screenshot to my Temp folder.

I don't get them on my desktop, but I occasionally do on mobile. Sometimes they're not there, sometimes it's clear something tried loading in and failed, others they're up as normal.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

IIRC, there was a coding change in the Google ads that made them start showing up again in some browsers a while back. All of the in-house banner ads should still be disabled, but Google ads may show up even with ads turned off.

Faily sure it's on Lego's to-do list.

Okay, I'm not seeing the ads at home on Firefox but I do see them in Edge. Looks like this may be a browser issue.

Logout on all browsers, make sure the checkbox is ticked, log back in. I cant remember for sure but I think the google ads might still display in some cases regardless of browser and it might be an unrelated firefox bug that is preventing them being displayed there.
