Disclaimer, I'm the founder of CodeFund.

CodeFund is what we consider "ethical" and different from Carbon Ads and other ad networks because (1) we do not allow 3rd party scripts, (2) no cookies accompany ads, (3) we are 100% open source (gitcoinco/code_fund_ads), (4) we only work with advertisers that provide relevant products and services that are good for the developer community, and (5) we literally do not store any private data, including IP addresses.

Interesting and informative read. In particular, I like the way you explained how the ad selection process works on a typical page. I've been looking for a reference to link to for an article of mine about ads.

Speaking of ethical practices, why is there a notification icon on a blog, and why is it having a seizure? :).
