Adverts unsuitable for children and young people are only served in advert breaks of content unlikely to appeal to children. This is in line with scheduling guidance from Clearcast. Clearcast is the industry body that assesses adverts against the UK Code of Broadcast Advertising (the BCAP Code - https://www.asa.org.uk/codes-and-rulings/advertising-codes/broadcast-code.html), which sets out what is and isn’t permitted.
The Parental PIN restricts access to age-rated programme content, not advertising content. For more information please read - https://www.channel4.com/4viewers/faqs/all-4/how-content-restricted-ensure-children-and-young-people-are-unable-access -

Yes. You'll be able to resume playback from where you left off in an episode, and this works across devices too so if you switch from your PC to your iPhone, for example, your resume point will be remembered. Similarly if you press pause, you will be able to resume when you select that episode again.

Unfortunately, you can only watch on All 4 when you are connected to the internet as it is a streaming service. However, you can watch previously downloaded programmes offline.

Rights agreements mean that our All 4 service is only available in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, (although C4 does not always have rights for programmes in ROI). Even if you are a citizen of the UK or ROI you cannot access the service from abroad.

All 4 is a free-to-view video on demand service but we do require users register their details to watch. Registration is free and gives access to all of Channel 4's latest shows and unlocks access to an extensive archive of classic programmes and downloads to watch offline. All 4 is designed to help us deliver programmes that our viewers will like and want to watch. We aim to personalise the experience so it's unique for our users and need viewer details to do this. It helps us get to know you better and deliver more targeted advertising which is how we fund our programming.
All 4's content is free to watch because we are a 100% advertiser-funded broadcaster. As a government-owned, not-for-profit organisation, the revenue we make from advertising doesn't go to shareholders – it goes back into making more programmes.
Knowing more about our viewers also means we can restrict age related content to the right audience and ensure children and young people are unable to access inappropriate content on the service.
Our Privacyand Cookiespolicies provide all the information you need to understand how, where and why we use your data. But you are in control and can update your preferences at any time, including by opting out of targeted advertising, personalisation and data pairing. To do this, sign in to your account at www.channel4.com – select My 4 – Account Settings. It's up to you whether you want to receive emails from us, but even if you haven't opted in to receive emails, we may still need to send you service messages, which will contain important information about our services, such as changes to our policies.
