    A type of window that hides behind the browser window of a Web site, primarily used in online advertising. Because they are less obviously obtrusive than a pop-up ad, pop-under windows, they tend not to bug users as much.

    A type of window that appears behind the browser window of a Web site that a user has visited.

    A pop-under is also referred to as a pop-under ad.
