The BBC now serves advertising on bbc.co.uk for users outside the UK, who do not pay a licence fee which funds the service. The extra funding which this generates is used to develop better content and programming for UK licence fee payers and international users alike.
The BBC uses the most advanced technology available to pinpoint a user's location. If you are a UK licence fee payer viewing the website from within the UK and you can see advertising, please provide the following information so that we can ensure that you will not see advertising in future.
The BBC and any service provider we engage will use the information you supply to respond to your queries/comments, to develop and enhance our services and for statistical analysis of audiences and users.
