Advertising & affiliate disclosure.
CurioLab aims to distinguish independent editorial work from commercial relationships. This page describes the policy for the site; it does not mean any advertising or affiliate partnership is currently active.
Current status
In this site package, no advertising network integration or affiliate link program has been intentionally added. If that changes, this page and the relevant articles will be updated to reflect the actual arrangement.
Advertising
If display advertising is introduced, ads should be identifiable as advertising and served in line with the chosen provider's requirements. Ad placement does not mean an advertiser reviewed, approved, or endorses CurioLab's editorial conclusions. CurioLab should not claim that an ad network has approved the site unless approval has actually been granted.
Affiliate links
If CurioLab later uses affiliate links, the page containing those links should disclose the relationship clearly before or near the recommendation. Where a link may earn a commission, the disclosure should explain that fact in plain language. Commercial relationships must not be presented as independent test results.
Sponsorships and product access
Any paid sponsorship, gifted access, or other material relationship should be disclosed in context. Editorial claims should remain evidence-based, and any limitations on the evaluation should be stated.
Editorial independence
CurioLab's comparisons should explain the task, method, criteria, evidence, and limitations. Payment or affiliate status should not be used as evidence that a product performs better.
Review this policy before activating monetization and update it to match the site's actual arrangements. This is a publishing policy draft, not legal advice.
