}'F.A.Q. & Details
Why use an API for ad and cookie banner removal?
When capturing screenshots using automated scripts, you will frequently encounter layout shifts or crucial content obstructed by GDPR pop-ups. A specialized website screenshot API with ad blocking resolves the headache of manually writing CSS rules to hide banners for thousands of distinct domains.
Can I inject custom CSS or JavaScript if the banner still shows?
Absolutely. While our standard "block banners" engine catches over 95% of popups, you can supply your own array of CSS selectors to hide string elements (like .cookie-notice) or execute custom JavaScript right before the webpage screenshot is captured.
Does it ensure SEO-friendly clean automated website screenshots?
Yes. SEO audits, visual regression tests, and brand monitoring demand clear, unobscured "ground truth" representations of a website's layout. Removing ads and cookie banners guarantees accurate data pipelines for your organization.
