Hi
a) not illegal on adsense unless only thing you’re making sticky is wall of ads; topic covered many times; search forum if curious

b) you can disable the sticky sidebar from the theme panel; under post settings (smart sidebar)

b) i know disabled options but i want just a adbox disabled, is it possible ?

The ad is not a separate element … you’re placing a “widget” in sidebar; the sidebar is sticky on/off … NOT the advert.

So, you can turn OFF the sticky sidebar, which will stop all widgets on sidebar from being sticky. All or none, as far as I know.

Note that having a sidebar with excerpts of new items, subscriber box and one ad — means the element is sticky — NOT the ad itself. If ONLY the ad were sticky that might violate the terms.

Up to you.

TagDiv support might have other solution — but the settings for them are “sidebar on or off” and the ad box is a widget part of sidebar, not separate element.

In theory you could add the ad unit to sidbar above the actual sidebar element, if you want to hack the template(s).

🙂
