The publication / Draft for owner review
Advertising and affiliate disclosure
Commercial systems are disabled; future relationships must be transparent.
What is active now
No paid advertisements, affiliate links, sponsored posts or tracking-based commercial integrations are active. There are no fake ad banners or simulated sponsor endorsements. Search results and editorial selections do not claim popularity or paid placement.
Before advertising can begin
The owner must obtain a genuine approved publisher account, configure actual unit identifiers, review placement and implement required privacy and consent controls. No publisher ID has been invented. ads.txt is intentionally empty apart from explanatory comments until genuine seller information is available.
Reader experience and consent
Future ads must be clearly distinguishable from navigation and editorial links. We will not ask readers to click ads to support the publication or use deceptive refresh tactics. Relevant Google requirements call for a certified CMP integrating the IAB TCF in specified regions; implementation must be verified against current policy before activation.
Affiliate and sponsored material
If a commercial relationship is introduced, disclose it near the affected content before a reader acts. Explain the relationship honestly and preserve editorial independence. Do not retroactively claim that untested products were personally tested. Update this policy and the privacy and cookie disclosures to describe the actual integration.
Google’s current CMP requirements — consulted 27 October 2026; recheck before enabling ads.
