1. Types of Advertisements

We display different types of advertisements on Unlocking NotebookLM, including but not limited to:

• Banner Ads: Visual advertisements displayed on various sections of the website.
• Sponsored Content: Content provided by advertisers or created in collaboration with them, clearly marked as “Sponsored” to distinguish it from editorial content.
• Affiliate Links: Some articles may contain affiliate links, where we may earn a commission if you click on the link and make a purchase. These links are disclosed clearly within the content.

2. Editorial Independence

Our editorial team operates independently of our advertising team. Advertisers and sponsors do not influence our editorial content, and we do not provide preferential treatment to any advertiser in exchange for payment. We uphold the following principles:

• No Influence: Advertisers do not have a say in the content we produce, including our reviews, recommendations, or opinions.
• Separation of Content: Sponsored content is always clearly labeled to maintain a distinction between editorial and advertising material.

3. Sponsored Content and Affiliations

Sponsored content or partnerships are clearly marked to help readers differentiate between independent editorial content and paid promotional material. The following guidelines apply:

• Clear Labelling: All sponsored content will be labeled as such, using terms like “Sponsored” or “Advertorial.”
• Affiliate Disclosure: Where affiliate links are used, a disclosure will be provided to inform readers of our relationship with the advertiser.

4. User Data and Advertising

We use cookies and similar technologies to deliver more relevant advertisements to our users. Please refer to our Cookie Policy for more details on how we use cookies to personalise advertising.

5. Third-Party Advertisements

We may work with third-party advertising networks to display ads on our website. These third-party ads are served by advertising partners and may be based on users’ browsing activity. The following guidelines apply:

• Privacy: We do not share personally identifiable information with our advertising partners without your explicit consent.
• Content Standards: We strive to ensure that all advertisements comply with our content standards and do not include inappropriate or misleading information.
