Hey Strainu,
You are probably right in that you saw a banner but regarding specifically
fundraising banners, I am 100% certain that the WMF does not and has not
for some years actively shown banners to users who are logged in. The
caveat with that is this does not preclude any possibility of human error
or a software bug. I'm not aware of any specific occasion where this has
occurred in the last two years but with a piece of software that serves
billions of page views, across 20-30 countries and some probably some 3000
banner tests during that period, probabilities that something hadn't gone
wrong start reaching levels of sigma that not even I would attempt to claim
:P
Regards
Seddon

WMF hasn't shown fundraising banners to
logged in users for several
years.
While I wouldn't bet my life on it, I'm pretty sure I saw banners on
mobile just last month, while being logged in.
