To serve the ads under the 1st party domain - without ending up in a situation where the entity reporting the number of ad impressions and the entity receiving money based on that number of ad impressions are the same - is often significant

Agreed, for a number of students the promise to explain it later will suffice. Others - when given magic boilerplate that does strange, intended things - will recognize it for the black magic it is and will want to wield it as well. They wi

In Germany it is not entirely 1:1. If you receive Hartz4 unemployment (€404) and have a so called €450-minijob (which is the cutoff for social security taxes etc), then €170 are additional income and €280 are offset with you unemployment,
