What Is AdsKeeper.co.uk?

AdsKeeper.co.uk is the web domain of an advertisement platform. AdsKeeper is considered adware because of its widespread distribution of advertisements and redirects to other websites. The websites and the adware make money from the ads, by monetizing the online traffic from them. To remove all kinds of advertisements related to this ad platform, you should read the article to the very end.

AdsKeeper.co.uk – Ways of Delivery

AdsKeeper.co.uk has a few ways in which it might be delivered. That may happen with the help of third-party installers. Without your awareness, programs can inject adware into your PC, through a bundled package or a freeware install setup. Installations might be set by default to add an extra component with the main software they are installing. To prevent that from happening you should try to find a Custom or an Advanced options menu. There you should be able to deselect additional content.

AdsKeeper.co.uk can affect your browsers from visiting websites of a dubious origin or ones with a bad reputation, which push redirects. If you click on advertisements, such as banners or pop-ups then the adware can spread to your browser apps. These delivery ways are the most common ones. Browsers which can get affected are the following: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Edge, Internet Explorer and Safari.

AdsKeeper.co.uk – In Depth Overview

AdsKeeper.co.uk is the official web domain for a marketing platform of the same name – AdsKeeper. Multiple advertisements and redirects will be generated if AdsKeeper has affected your browsing applications. That makes it adware. On the picture below you can see how AdsKeeper.co.uk ads and redirects look like:

If your computer has any applications inside it which are in any way related to AdsKeeper.co.uk, or in your browsers for that matter, you will see a big amount of advertisements when browsing. You can get redirected to various web pages which are probably affiliated with the owners of the adware. You might also land on other sites paying for that traffic generation from ads of the platform.

Ads may show one of the following texts in them:

• Ads by AdsKeeper.co.uk
• Advertisement by AdsKeeper.co.uk
• Ad by AdsKeeper.co.uk
• Advert from AdsKeeper.co.uk
• Powered by AdsKeeper.co.uk
• Brought to you by AdsKeeper.co.uk

Redirects which can be generated from the AdsKeeper platform are made with the purpose of generating traffic and showing you content that these sites want to display. This action accumulates online traffic, which can then be monetized with the adware or with some pay-per-click scheme as well.

The advertising content could be with different form or shape, but in every way trying to earn revenue for website owners. Advertisements connected to AdsKeeper.co.uk can be seen online as pop-ups, in-text links, pop-unders, banners, interstitial or transitional ads. Other types of ads are not excluded from appearing.

The Privacy Policy of AdsKeeper.co.uk might not exist or be hidden from the public. That can be a problem because it is not made known what rules are in play here and what data can be collected from you when using the platform.

Nevertheless, the site uses eight cookies, some of which are stored on your computer and redirects to other affiliate sites, which also push cookies. You can see an example of the cookie aftermath:

Using the AdsKeeper.co.uk website or any of its services and applications might be considered that you grant your consent for information to be collected. That information that can be collected may be personal, technical or both. Third parties could also be extracting information from redirects and affiliate sites or just by having a contract with the advertising platform, so be very careful with what you click on and what things you write when browsing.
