Frequently Asked Questions

Performance

Will adding the Mention Ads script slow down my website? No. The defer attribute guarantees that not only the script is not downloaded before the page finished loading, but also that it won’t execute until the page is fully loaded.

Cookies

Do I need to include Mention Ads in a cookie consent banner? No. Mention Ads does not send any cookies. This can be confirmed by seeing that the fetch call in the script does not set "credentials": "include" in the payload. Please read the MDN documentation on Using Fetch for more information.

Furthemore, the HTTP preflight (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) CORS request does not reply with the HTTP header Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true, thus the browser will not allow the endpoint to set any cookies for the root domain or subdomains of mentionads.com. This can be confirmed by using the DevTools in Chrome. Please read the MDN documentation on Access-Control-Allow-Credentials for more information.
