The impressions of the ads helps, though. If the ad isn’t even shown, there’s not even the possibility of the impression or the engagement.

That said, there is only one site on all of the internet that I’ve decided to whitelist and that is only because I trust the site’s developers not to sell out and allow invasive ads.
