Advertisement Malfunction

I do not click on ads I see on Chess.com, as I find no interest in them; however, links for double click ads are randomly appearing as though I clicked the ad. These are the links I was directed to (three in total):

I am not familiar with double click ads. Looking up the definition, it shows it is associated with Google and that you can disable them. You can check this forum thread. (See next post.)

You can see various ideas there. I don't think chess.com can control what ads appear, but you can report inappropriate ones. The two you showed seem like legit ads.

Looks like they are preventing links. So Google the following if you want to see the forum thread.

Had the same issue today. I thought maybe the first one was me accidentally clicking, even though I don't believe that I did. The 2nd time, I'm sure I wasn't doing anything at all. Then, while browsing the forums, I was alerted of pop-ups being blocked.

ETA: It looks like both links were for cosm .com

I've had this same problem for 2 days now but it's extremely frequent. I do not know a fix.

This appears to only happen on the ads that say, "Ad by Sponsor". When you click on the x or one of the items to report the ad, it just takes you to the advertiser's site. I've started getting redirected to these sites 2-3 times per game.
