"I am a UK user located in the UK. Why am I seeing advertising on the BBC website?"

The BBC puts advertising on its website for users outside the UK. We use the income to help fund BBC services and keep the licence fee (paid by UK households) lower than it otherwise would be.

We try our utmost, using sophisticated technology, to make sure that the advertising is only visible to people outside the UK, but if you are viewing the website from within the UK and you can see advertising, please use this form to let us know as soon as possible.

If this did not answer your question, please advise what information you would expect to be provided.

The above form should only be used to provide feedback related to the question and answer highlighted above. We are unable to respond to any feedback received through this form, however we do read all comments and use these to help improve the quality of the FAQs we publish. If you wish to comment on any other BBC related issue other than the content of this site, please do so via our webform.
