This Advertising Policy explains how advertising and sponsored content work on Auto News Talk.
1. Separation of Ads and Editorial
We aim to maintain a clear separation between editorial content and advertising. Advertisers do not get to “pre-approve” our editorial coverage unless explicitly disclosed as sponsorship.
2. Ad Formats We May Use
We may display:
– Display ads (banner, in-article, sidebar)
– Video ads (if enabled)
– Sponsored posts or branded content (if enabled)
– Affiliate links (if enabled)
Not all formats may be active at launch.
3. Sponsored Content and Paid Placements
If we publish sponsored or paid content, we will try to label it clearly (e.g., “Sponsored,” “Paid Post,” “Advertisement,” or similar). Sponsored content represents the views of the sponsor unless stated otherwise.
4. Affiliate Disclosure
Some links may be affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click a link and/or make a purchase. This may help support the Site at no additional cost to you.
5. Third-Party Ad Networks and Tracking
We may use third-party ad networks to serve ads. These partners may use cookies or similar technologies to:
– deliver ads
– measure performance
– provide interest-based advertising
You can often control cookies via browser settings and may have opt-out options through ad providers.
6. What We Don’t Accept
We generally do not knowingly accept advertising that:
– is illegal, deceptive, or fraudulent
– promotes hate or harassment
– promotes malware, spyware, or scams
– violates intellectual property rights
– is inappropriate for a general audience (adult content)
7. Complaints and Reporting Ads
To report an ad you believe is misleading, inappropriate, or harmful, contact: info@autonewstalk.com with:
– a screenshot (if possible)
– the page URL
– the time/date you saw it
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy. The “Last Updated” date will reflect changes.
