## Description

Hafenstudios Ads is an ad manager for WordPress: place banner ads, AdSense units
and any ad code exactly where you want them, rotate them, target who sees them, 
and keep an eye on impressions, clicks and CTR — without sending any analytics to
an external server.

Create multiple ad blocks, insert them automatically before or after the content,
after paragraph N or by shortcode, widget and Gutenberg block. Weighted ad rotation,
device and post-type targeting, campaign scheduling and consent gating are built
in. Part of the hafenstudios plugin family.

#### Highlights

 * Clean, focused admin interface with brand bar, weekly summary and clear navigation
   tabs.
 * Automatic placements before content, after content, after paragraph N or after
   the first image.
 * Manual placement via shortcode `[adjet_ad id="1"]`, widget or Gutenberg block.
 * Weighted ad rotation via `[adjet_ad_group name="header"]`.
 * Device targeting for desktop, tablet and mobile.
 * Post type targeting plus exclusions for posts, categories, tags and custom terms.
 * Optional “Advertisement” label with editable text.
 * Lazy loading via IntersectionObserver.
 * Consent-cookie gating for common consent tools.
 * Optional anonymous local impression and click statistics.
 * Campaign scheduling with optional start and end time.
 * One-click duplicate and pause/activate actions for faster workflow.
 * Code editor and admin-side live preview that does not execute scripts.
 * AdSense Wizard: Publisher-ID + Slot-ID are enough for responsive AdSense units.
 * Optional AdSense Auto Ads script loader with clear settings.
 * 30-day statistics chart (impressions and clicks) rendered inline, no external
   libraries.
 * Weekly summary above the ad block list: impressions, clicks and CTR since Monday,
   compared with the same weekday span of the previous week.
 * Least-privilege capability `manage_adjet` with an optional editor-access toggle.
 * Template gallery with ready-to-use banners, notification bars and popups; premium
   templates unlock with Pro.
 * REST API (`adjet/v1`) for ad blocks, stats and settings via Application Passwords.
 * Guided assistant with optional AI copy suggestions (bring your own Anthropic 
   Claude key).
 * Built-in cookie-consent banner template with Google Consent Mode v2 support.
 * Native newsletter opt-in for SendFox, MailerLite, Brevo and Mailchimp (bring 
   your own token) with double opt-in.
 * First-run onboarding that routes you to AdSense, a template or your own HTML.
 * JSON import and export with file-size/type checks.
 * Uninstall routine that keeps your data unless you explicitly ask for it to be
   deleted.

#### Privacy

The plugin does not contact hafenstudios servers from the WordPress admin area or
frontend. Optional statistics are stored locally in your own WordPress database.
Third-party ad code pasted into an ad block may contact external services; configure
your consent solution accordingly.

#### External services

The plugin works fully without any external service. Every integration below is 
optional and only ever runs when you explicitly enable it:

 * Google AdSense (frontend): if you configure an AdSense ad unit or enable Auto
   Ads, the frontend loads Google’s `adsbygoogle.js` from `pagead2.googlesyndication.
   com` to display ads. Terms: https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms — 
   Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
 * Anthropic Claude (admin only, bring-your-own-key): the optional “AI suggestions”
   button in the ad assistant sends the template’s field labels, your site name/
   description and any brief you type to the Anthropic API (`api.anthropic.com`)
   to generate draft ad copy. This happens only after you enter your own Anthropic
   API key in the settings and click the button; no key, no request. The key is 
   stored encrypted and used server-side only. Terms: https://www.anthropic.com/
   legal/commercial-terms — Privacy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy
 * SendFox (bring-your-own-token): if you connect SendFox in the settings and use
   the “Newsletter (SendFox)” template, visitor email addresses submitted through
   that form are sent to the SendFox API (`api.sendfox.com`) to be added to your
   list. This happens only when you have connected a SendFox access token. The token
   is stored encrypted and used server-side only. Terms: https://sendfox.com/tos—
   Privacy: https://sendfox.com/privacy
 * MailerLite (bring-your-own-token): if you connect MailerLite in the settings 
   and use the “Newsletter (MailerLite)” template, visitor email addresses submitted
   through that form are sent to the MailerLite API (`connect.mailerlite.com`) to
   be added to your group. This happens only when you have connected a MailerLite
   API token. The token is stored encrypted and used server-side only. Terms: https://
   www.mailerlite.com/legal/terms-of-service — Privacy: https://www.mailerlite.com/
   legal/privacy-policy
 * Brevo (bring-your-own-token): if you connect Brevo in the settings and use the“
   Newsletter (Brevo)” template, visitor email addresses submitted through that 
   form are sent to the Brevo API (`api.brevo.com`) to be added to your list. This
   happens only when you have connected a Brevo API key. The key is stored encrypted
   and used server-side only. Terms: https://www.brevo.com/legal/termsofuse/ — Privacy:
   https://www.brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy/
 * Mailchimp (bring-your-own-token): if you connect Mailchimp in the settings and
   use the “Newsletter (Mailchimp)” template, visitor email addresses submitted 
   through that form are sent to the Mailchimp API (`<dc>.api.mailchimp.com`, the
   data center encoded in your API key) to be added to your audience with status“
   pending”, which triggers Mailchimp’s double opt-in. This happens only when you
   have connected a Mailchimp API key. The key is stored encrypted and used server-
   side only. Terms: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/ — Privacy: https://www.intuit.
   com/privacy/statement/

#### Security

The plugin uses capability checks, nonces for form actions, sanitization on save
and escaping on output. Raw ad code is only stored unchanged for users with the `
unfiltered_html` capability.

#### Localization

 * Source language: English.
 * Included translations: German, Spanish, French and Dutch — complete and shipped
   with the plugin.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   Adjet Ad

## Installation

 1. Upload the ZIP via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Open the new “Hafenstudios Ads” menu and create your first ad block.
 4. Optional: configure the ad label, consent-cookie settings and local statistics.

Upgrading from “AdEngine – Free Ad Inserter & Manager”? Just install this plugin—
your ad blocks, settings and statistics are migrated automatically on first load.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin work with AdSense?

Yes. You can either paste original AdSense code as custom code or use the AdSense
Wizard with your Publisher-ID and Slot-ID. The plugin then generates a responsive
ad unit and loads the AdSense script on the frontend when needed.

### Can I use it manually?

Yes. Use the shortcode `[adjet_ad id="1"]`, the shortcode `[adjet_ad_group name="
header"]`, the included widget or the Gutenberg block.

### Does it replace a consent tool?

No. The plugin can wait for a configured consent cookie, but it does not provide
legal advice or a cookie banner.

### Does this plugin track users externally?

No. The optional statistics feature stores anonymous aggregated counts locally in
your WordPress database.

### Can editors manage ads without being administrators?

Yes. Enable “Editor access” in Settings to grant the `manage_adjet` capability to
the editor role. Administrators always have access.

### What happens to my data when I uninstall the plugin?

Nothing is deleted unless you ask for it. The setting “Delete all data on uninstall”
is off by default, so removing the plugin leaves your ad blocks, settings and the
statistics table in place and a later reinstall picks them up again. Switch the 
setting on before uninstalling if you want the options, the statistics table and
the `manage_adjet` capability removed for good.

### Is there a REST API?

Yes. The `adjet/v1` namespace exposes ad blocks (`/blocks`, CRUD), statistics (`/
stats`) and settings (`/settings`). Authenticate with an Application Password; access
requires the `manage_adjet` capability.

## Changelog

#### 2.0.0

 * New free placement “Between posts”: show an ad in blog, archive and search listings
   after every Nth post.
 * New free templates: image banner, HTML/code tile, sticky bottom bar (anchor ad),
   countdown banner (hides itself after expiry), social follow bar and a sponsored-
   content disclosure note.
 * New Pro templates in the gallery: slide-in box (default trigger 50% scroll depth),
   recommendation card in post style, product/affiliate box with mandatory labelling,
   Google Ad Manager slot, video ad, comparison box, ad slider and content locker
   light.
 * New Pro targeting (in Adjet Pro): referrer targeting and weekday/hour time windows,
   both evaluated in the browser so they stay correct behind page caches.
 * New targeting: “Show only in categories/tags” complements the existing exclusion
   list.
 * Cache-proof statistics: tracking no longer requires an expiring nonce (protected
   by an event whitelist, block-ID checks and an IP rate limit instead), and impressions
   are bundled into one beacon per page.
 * The AdSense loader now only loads on pages that actually serve an AdSense block–
   with consent gating, only after consent has been given. The frontend stylesheet
   is now inlined in the head (0.7 KB, no extra request).
 * One shared guard for shortcode, widget and Gutenberg block: ended campaigns no
   longer keep running through the Gutenberg block.
 * Honesty: removed the never-implemented template teasers “Spin-to-Win” and “Reader
   paywall”, including their claims on the upgrade page.
 * Correctness: UTF-8 word counting for the minimum word count, save errors now 
   show as an error notice instead of “saved”, and a new index on stat_date speeds
   up the statistics.
 * Hardening: the Cloudflare IP header only counts for rate limiting when the ADJET_BEHIND_CF
   constant is set explicitly; the newsletter opt-in no longer requires a nonce 
   that broke on page-cached sites.
 * New in the plugins list: a “Manage ads” button and a rate-this-plugin link.

#### 1.9.0

 * Added three more newsletter providers next to SendFox: MailerLite, Brevo and 
   Mailchimp. Each one has its own template and its own connection, so you can run
   several at once and pick a different list per ad block.
 * Every provider token is stored encrypted on its own, so connecting a new provider
   never touches an existing one. An already connected SendFox account keeps working
   unchanged after the update.
 * Mailchimp signups are handed over with status “pending”, which triggers Mailchimp’s
   own confirmation mail.
 * Uninstalling now also removes the tokens and cached lists of the new providers.
 * Translated all new texts into German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese.
 * Fixed: the click-through rate now follows the site language. On a German site
   it read “1.58” right next to “31.847” impressions, where the dot is a thousands
   separator – two different meanings for the same character.

#### 1.8.7

 * Added a small card above the content of the plugin’s own pages that shows one
   thing at a time: a statistics milestone, a one-off review request, or a feature
   you may not have found yet. Never more than one card, never on other pages of
   the admin area, and every card can be dismissed for good.
 * Replaced the four 30-day tiles above the ad block list with a weekly summary:
   impressions, clicks and CTR since Monday, compared with the same weekday span
   of the previous week, plus a 7-day chart and the strongest ad block of the week.
   Same local data as before, nothing new is collected.
 * Added the setting “Delete all data on uninstall”, switched off by default. Until
   you switch it on, removing the plugin leaves your ad blocks, settings and statistics
   untouched.
 * The assistant now states plainly what your own Claude API key unlocks, and the
   settings explain that requests go from your site straight to Anthropic with your
   own account.
 * Added complete Spanish, French and Dutch translations and completed the German
   one.
 * Added a link to the manual on the plugin pages.

#### 1.8.6

 * Fixed: the Pro page named the wrong payment provider. Purchases are handled by
   Freemius, not Digistore24; the 30-day money-back guarantee is unchanged.

#### 1.8.5

 * The plugin now speaks English by default: all source strings were translated 
   from German to English, and German ships as a complete translation that loads
   automatically on German sites. Before this release, every site saw the German
   interface regardless of its language.
 * Removed the broken placeholder translation files (en/es/fr/nl) that did not actually
   translate anything; Spanish, French and Dutch will return via wordpress.org language
   packs.
 * Added the six directory screenshots.

#### 1.8.4

 * Renamed the plugin to “Hafenstudios Ads – Ad Placement Manager” and changed the
   text domain to `hafenstudios-ads`, following the WordPress.org plugin review.
   No functional changes.
 * Internal prefixes, option names, shortcodes and the REST namespace are deliberately
   unchanged, so existing ad blocks, settings and statistics keep working.

#### 1.8.2

 * Removed the legacy `[sai_ad]` and `[sai_ad_group]` shortcode aliases, so every
   public name this plugin registers now carries the `adjet` prefix. Use `[adjet_ad]`
   and `[adjet_ad_group]` instead.
 * The Google AdSense loader is now enqueued with `wp_enqueue_script()` only; the
   custom script-tag filter that added the optional `crossorigin` attribute has 
   been dropped.
 * Documented the output escaping contract of the ad render pipeline directly at
   the shortcode, block and `the_content` callbacks.

#### 1.8.1

 * Fixed the Plugin URI and the SendFox terms link so all declared URLs resolve.
 * Moved all frontend and admin JavaScript and CSS out of inline `<script>`/`<style
   >` tags into properly enqueued files: base styles now load as `public/frontend.
   css`, the AdSense unit call, the popup/exit-intent/cookie-consent behaviour and
   the admin live preview run from enqueued scripts. No behaviour change.
 * Hardened and documented output escaping around the ad render pipeline (generated
   markup is escaped; raw custom code stays gated behind the `unfiltered_html` capability,
   like the core Custom HTML block).
 * Switched all direct database access to prepared statements using the `%i` table-
   identifier placeholder, which raises the minimum WordPress version to 6.2.

#### 1.8.0

 * Added a built-in Cookie-Consent banner template: visitors accept or decline, 
   it sets the consent signal your consent-gated ads wait for, and it emits Google
   Consent Mode v2 updates. No separate consent plugin needed.
 * Added a native SendFox newsletter integration (bring your own SendFox access 
   token): the new “Newsletter (SendFox)” template subscribes visitors straight 
   into your chosen list. SendFox handles the double opt-in.
 * Added a public opt-in endpoint protected by nonce, honeypot and rate limiting;
   the token is stored encrypted and used server-side only.
 * Generalised the assistant with a third mapper type (provider) so more email providers
   can hook in later.

#### 1.7.0

 * Added a template gallery with ready-to-use ads, banners, notification bars and
   popups (free), plus Pro-badged premium templates and a Free/Pro foundation with
   an upgrade page. Free stays fully functional.
 * Added a guided assistant: pick a template and just fill in fields (title, text,
   link, colour) with a live preview instead of writing HTML. Field values are stored
   and stay editable; “HTML selbst bearbeiten” switches to the raw editor.
 * Added a guided Google AdSense assistant: enter Publisher-ID, Slot-ID and format,
   and the plugin builds the responsive unit.
 * Added optional AI copy suggestions in the assistant: bring your own Anthropic
   Claude API key and let the AI draft titles, texts and button labels as fully 
   editable suggestions. One request per click, never automatic; the key is stored
   encrypted (libsodium) and used server-side only.
 * Added a site-wide “overlay” placement so popups, exit-intent and notification
   bars display and self-trigger.
 * Added a first-run onboarding panel that routes you to AdSense, a template or 
   your own HTML.
 * Refined the admin: save-in-editor confirmation, compact icon actions, a collapsible“
   Erweitert” section, and Hans, the hand-drawn hafenstudios captain mascot.

#### 1.6.0

 * Added a least-privilege capability `manage_adjet` (administrators keep access
   via a manage_options fallback) plus an optional editor-access toggle in Settings.
 * Added a REST API under `adjet/v1` for ad blocks, statistics and settings (Application
   Password auth).
 * Added a 30-day impressions/clicks chart to the statistics page, rendered inline
   as SVG without external libraries.

#### 1.5.0

 * Rebranded the plugin as part of the hafenstudios plugin family.
 * Redesigned the admin interface in the clean hafenstudios/Linkjet design language(
   brand bar, tab navigation, teal accent, KPI and content cards).
 * Migrated shortcodes to `[adjet_ad]` and `[adjet_ad_group]`; the legacy `[sai_ad]`/`[
   sai_ad_group]` shortcodes keep working as aliases.
 * Automatic data migration from a previous AdEngine install (ad blocks, settings
   and statistics).
 * Added object-cache-backed statistics totals to reduce database load.
 * Fixed AdSense script enqueue to always carry a version and cleaned up Plugin 
   Check notices.

#### 1.4.3

 * Renamed the public plugin title to comply with WordPress.org naming restrictions.

#### 1.4.1

 * Refined admin interface with cleaner hero, glass navigation, stronger cards and
   better responsive behavior.
 * Improved backend usability, visual hierarchy and AdSense onboarding cues.

#### 1.4.0

 * Added AdSense Wizard for easy responsive AdSense ad units using Publisher-ID 
   and Slot-ID.
 * Added optional AdSense Auto Ads frontend loader.
 * Added dynamic Gutenberg block for manual placements.
 * Added weighted ad rotation groups.

#### 1.3.1

 * Added campaign scheduling with optional start/end time.
 * Added one-click duplicate and pause/activate actions.
 * Added automatic placement after the first image.
 * Added WordPress code editor integration and a safer admin-side live preview.

#### 1.3.0

 * Added optional local statistics toggle.
 * Hardened import flow with JSON extension and file-size validation.
 * Improved security posture around raw ad code.

#### 1.2.0

 * Added backend styling with hero area and KPI cards.
 * Added localization starter files.

#### 1.1.0

 * Added label, AMP exclusion, server-side device detection, minimum word count,
   max-per-post, exclusion lists, lazy loading, consent gating, stats, import/export
   and uninstall routine.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial version.
