title: Why am I getting a 403 for Google AdSense on my verified site?
body: <p>AdSense shows that it is verified. I have waited about 10 hours and even the placeholder for ads is not appearing. </p>
  
  <p>AdSense does not show any Policy violations, Crawler errors, or messages. </p>
  
  <p>I found this while inspecting the headers for the adsense request: <code>Referrer Policy:no-referrer-when-downgrade</code></p>
  
  <p>Complete text of the request and status message:</p>

  <p>This is the specific section of adsense script that is failing. </p>
