 * Hi,
 * Are you referring to adverts in wp-admin?, you can dismiss these.

 * It is against the developer guidelines to inject ads into the Dashboard to begin
   with.

 * Another factor is that your ads contain tracking urls, which is completely forbidden.

 * The notices- it says ” Upgrade prompts, notices, alerts, and the like must be
   limited in scope and used sparingly” and “Site wide notices or embedded dashboard
   widgets _must_ be dismissible or self-dismiss when resolve”
 * You can click to dismiss all of the advents. Although I do appreciate that they
   might be annoying. I will pass this onto our development team.
 * Illegally tracking user’s – we absolutely do not do this.

 * Again, the dismiss does NOT work reliably. The prompt returns frequently and 
   it does so on admin pages where it does NOT belong. That is not in line with 
   the guidelines.
 * Oh you don’t, then why does this link sit in the “Sign up” link?

 * That is **exactly** what is meant by tracking users without their consent.
