Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Beaver.ad. Still have questions? Get in touch.
Does it slow down my site?
No. Beaver.ad loads inside a tiny asynchronous iframe. Your page loads first, always.
How does tracking work?
We track a view when the ad is rendered and a click when a user taps or clicks it. No cookies, no personal data — just simple, accurate stats.
Can I use my own ads?
Absolutely. Upload any image/GIF or design clean text ads with the visual builder.
Is Google Ads fallback supported?
Yes. Paste your AdSense (or any network) code as a fallback. It only shows when no active campaigns match.
What happens when an ad expires or finishes its goal?
