Commercial transparency

Advertising and Sponsorship Policy

Commercial support must be recognizable, separate from editorial judgment, and unable to buy a conclusion.

Last updated August 6, 2026

Current state:

no active display-ad placement is configured on the site at this update.

Clear labeling

Paid placements, sponsored research, supplied products, travel support, or other material relationships must be labeled in plain language near the affected content.

Editorial control

An advertiser or sponsor may check its own factual details, but cannot approve the conclusion, remove a supported criticism, select an undisclosed ranking position, or rewrite the evidence standard.

Separation from the reading experience

Advertising must not imitate navigation, obscure the article, create deceptive download buttons, or interrupt access to the main answer. Speed, accessibility, and mobile usability remain publication requirements.

Restricted relationships

SEA may decline categories, claims, targeting practices, or creative that conflict with reader safety, applicable rules, or editorial credibility.
