Advertising & Editorial Disclosure

1. Absolute Editorial Independence

Our public holiday calendars, working day calculations, and cultural articles are researched and verified with complete editorial autonomy. Commercial advertisers, sponsors, and affiliate partners have zero influence over which holidays are listed, how dates are calculated, or the statutory facts presented.

2. Better Ads Standards & Non-Intrusive Layouts

We believe that advertising should never compromise reading or navigation. We adhere strictly to the standards set by the Coalition for Better Ads:

• Zero interstitial or pop-up ads that block calendar viewing.

• Zero auto-playing video or audio units.

• Ad containers placed strictly below the main hero calendar fold to preserve instantaneous access to date information.

3. How We Fund the Platform

To keep our platform 100% free for users worldwide, we display programmatic display advertisements (via certified networks like Google AdSense) and may include relevant affiliate references for travel or productivity tools. These revenues directly fund our global CDN infrastructure, continuous data audits, and multi-language translations.
