Advertising policy

Version 1.0, October 19, 2026.

Paid placements are labelled Sponsored and dated. Sponsorship never affects ranking, methodology gate results, research conclusions or editorial approval. A paid placement is not an endorsement.

Every campaign requires human approval. Ads are served in defined slots during their approved date window. First-party impression and click counts support advertiser reports. Reports do not contain raw visitor IP addresses.
