Filter Advertising???
Is there any way to FILTER all the advertising that appears through out the KidZui "approved" content?
If not, I am about ready to cancel...as I can't guarantee my kids don't accidentally stumble into something unexpected by clicking on an ad that appears on one of the "game" websites...

Hello Dennis,
Unfortunately, there is no way to filter the ads that appear on websites within KidZui. While we continuously monitor the ads on sites we have approved, ads are controlled by a third party and not by KidZui. Often they are not even controlled by the site they appear on.
To aid parents in controlling the content their children see, we do allow content to be blocked via the parent site.
The way you block content depends on if you are a paid KidZui Member or a free user. Paid KidZui Members have the ability to block entire websites, as well as individual web pages, photos, and videos. Free users can only block entire websites.
To block an entire website (KidZui Members and Free Users): Please go to www.kidzui.com and click on the ""Login"" link in the upper-right corner. Next, login to the parent website with your email address and parent password. Click on Personalize at the top of the page. In the box under Enter a Web Address, please enter the exact URL that you would like to block and press the red Block button. (Please note: the URL typically must include www. at the beginning and .com/.org/.net etc. at the end.) The URL will appear below under the Website column, and in the Access column it will say Blocked. Your child will no longer be able to access that website.
To block an individual website, photo, or video (KidZui Members Only): KidZui members can block content (websites, photos and videos) that their children have already viewed. Please login to the parent website by visiting www.kidzui.com, clicking the Login button, and then entering your email address and parent password. Once logged in, click on the Reports tab at the top of the page. Once the Reports tab loads you will need to select Activity from the submenu to view all the content your child has accessed in KidZui. You can sort these by websites, photos, videos and more by clicking on the corresponding links above the report. To block a piece of content that your child has viewed, click on the content that you wish to block. On the window that appears, you'll see information on the piece of content, including how many times your child viewed it and when it was last viewed. To block it, click on the Change link under the Access column. If you have more than one child/Zui, you can choose to allow or block the content for each of them. Close the detail window to save your changes.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. We completely respect and understand your opinion an are happy to help in anyway we can.
Thank you,
Sean
KidZui CS
