Hi there Nagi.
I don't know who's advising you, but the adtech on your site is neither "limited" nor "respectful". The actual ad units you're displaying might be small but what's happening beneath the surface is quite extensive.
The adtech on your site in my test makes the browser connect to 150 different web servers. That is, it's attempting to share my behaviour with all those places. The purpose? Well, that's where things get shady.
I'm a big fan. Take a look at the food-splattered, well-thumbed books. We love your stuff in our household and use your recipes all the time. I feel like your recipes have massively increased my partners' cooking confidence because they work so well to bring delicious food to the table every time.
I'm also an expert in online behavioural tracking, adtech and internet privacy. This is what I do for a living. When I block ads, it's only partially because of the distraction and annoyance. The main problem is the shady supply chain behind the modern digital ad business. I also know how little you'll actually be making from each of these shady suppliers. Is it worth it?
If you'd like to discuss what's happening here and get a perspective from someone who isn't your adtech vendor, drop me a note and let's have a chat. (I'm in Sydney too, so no problematic timezones.)
Here's a list of all the domains your site gets browsers to connect with right now. Do you know what they're all up to?
