35 To be whitelisted, a website or advertiser must [apply](https://eyeo.com/accepta ble-ads-application.html). At that point we collaborate with them to bring their ads in line with the [criteria of our Acceptable Ads initiative](https://adbloc kplus.org/en/acceptable-ads#criteria). After that, we send the proposed ads to o ur 27,000-plus community for 7 – 10 days for an open discussion. If members of t he community raise legitimate objections about proposed ads, we go back to the d rawing board with the website or advertiser. If nothing comes up we whitelist th e ads after the time period discussed above. All whitelisted sites are available [here](https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/exceptionrules.txt). 35 To be whitelisted, a website or advertiser must [apply](https://eyeo.com/accepta ble-ads-application.html).
