Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: 30 April 2025
Our commitment to transparency
Tallowen believes in being clear about how we operate and how this website may generate revenue. This page sets out any advertising relationships, affiliate arrangements, or sponsored content that may appear on this site. We think you have a right to know, and we want to keep it straightforward.
Affiliate relationships
Participation in affiliate programmes: This site may participate in affiliate marketing programmes. This means that if you click a link to a third-party product or service and subsequently make a purchase, Tallowen may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
Commission-based links: Links that could result in a commission are not always labelled individually, but this disclosure applies to the site as a whole. Receiving a commission does not influence our editorial judgement or the quality of any recommendation.
Product recommendation policy: We only reference or link to products and services we consider genuinely relevant to freelancers and independent workers. Affiliate relationships do not determine which products appear on this site.
Financial relationship transparency: In accordance with FTC guidelines and equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions, we disclose the existence of any material financial relationships that could affect the content you read here.
Sponsored content
Identification of paid content: Any content that has been paid for or produced in partnership with a brand or third party will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored" or "In partnership with [brand]" at the top of the relevant page or article.
Sponsored post labelling: Sponsored posts may appear in blog sections or resource pages. The labelling is always visible and placed prominently so you can distinguish it from organic content.
Brand partnerships: Tallowen may enter into brand partnership arrangements. These are disclosed in the relevant content. A partnership does not mean we endorse every product or claim made by the partnering organisation.
Content authenticity: Even in sponsored content, we maintain editorial standards. We will not publish sponsored content that we believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or contrary to the interests of our visitors.
Third-party advertising
Advertising networks: This site may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks. These ads are delivered automatically based on the content of the page and/or your browsing behaviour.
Behavioural targeting: Where you have consented to advertising cookies, ad networks may use data about your browsing history to serve advertisements that are relevant to your interests.
Cookie usage for advertising: Advertising cookies placed by third-party networks may be stored in your browser to enable ad targeting and frequency capping. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Ad personalisation: Personalised advertising is only used where you have given consent through our cookie preference settings. You can withdraw consent at any time via our Cookies page.
Your rights and controls
Ad preference management: You can manage your cookie and advertising preferences at any time on our Cookies page.
Opting out: You may opt out of personalised advertising by rejecting advertising cookies via our cookie preferences. You can also use browser-level settings or tools such as the NAI opt-out page to limit behavioural advertising.
Data collection for advertising: Where advertising cookies are accepted, certain data points (such as pages visited and approximate location) may be used by third-party ad platforms. We do not share your name or contact details with advertisers.
Privacy regulations: Users in the EU/EEA may exercise rights under the GDPR including access, erasure, and objection to data processing. Users in other regions may have equivalent rights under local law. Contact us via our Contact page to exercise any of these rights.
If you have any questions about this disclosure or our advertising practices, please reach out to us. We're happy to provide more detail.
