Transparency

Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure

PlugSphere may use advertising, sponsorship or affiliate revenue in the future. This page sets the transparency rules those relationships must follow.

Last updated

Current status

The application code does not currently enable AdSense or affiliate links by default. Google Analytics can be configured by an administrator, but it is loaded only after Analytics consent. If monetization is introduced, the disclosures below apply and the privacy documents must be updated to name the active vendors.

Advertisements and sponsorships

Paid placements will be presented in a way that distinguishes them from navigation, station controls and editorial content. Ads will use a clear label such as “Advertisement” or “Sponsored Links.” Sponsored articles or sections will identify the sponsor near the relevant content, not only on this page.

An advertiser or sponsor may influence the topic or placement it paid for, but it may not purchase an undisclosed editorial recommendation or require a false factual claim.

Rankings and editorial independence

Editorial criteria, evidence, limitations and material commercial relationships should be explained where they could affect a reader’s judgment. Advertising revenue does not permit a partner to rewrite an independent conclusion.

When compensation affects ordering, eligibility or inclusion, that effect will be disclosed with the relevant comparison or list.

Advertising privacy

Advertising code must not be enabled until required privacy notices, vendor controls and consent mechanisms are in place. The first-party Cookie preferences panel is not a Google-certified advertising CMP. A certified CMP must be configured for AdSense traffic where Google requires one.
