Advertising Disclosure

Sekihi is committed to being open about how this website operates and how its content may be influenced by commercial relationships. This page sets out the nature of any advertising or affiliate arrangements that may be in place, so you can assess the information here with full context.

Where any content on this site is influenced by a commercial relationship — whether through affiliate links, sponsored material, or third-party advertising — this is disclosed clearly. Our editorial standards are maintained regardless of any commercial arrangement.

• Affiliate programme participation

  This site may participate in affiliate programmes. Where links to third-party products or services are present and a commission may be earned, this will be indicated near the relevant link. The presence of an affiliate link does not affect the independence of the content surrounding it.

• Commission-based links

  When you follow an affiliate link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, Sekihi may receive a commission from the relevant provider. This comes at no additional cost to you and does not alter the price you pay.

• Recommendation policy

  Affiliate relationships do not influence which services or products are recommended. Content is prepared on the basis of relevance to readers. A product or service will not be recommended solely because an affiliate arrangement exists.

• Financial relationship transparency

  Sekihi discloses all material financial relationships with third parties that may affect the content of this site. If you have a question about a specific relationship, please contact us directly.

• Identification of paid content

  Any content that has been produced in exchange for payment or other consideration will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership" at or near the top of the relevant content. This labelling is applied consistently.

• Brand partnerships

  Where Sekihi enters into a brand partnership that results in content being published on this site, the partnership will be disclosed in or adjacent to that content. The editorial judgement applied to sponsored content remains with Sekihi.

• Content authenticity

  Sponsored content published on this site reflects the genuine assessment of Sekihi at the time of writing. Sponsors do not have the right to require changes to editorial positions or to approve final content before publication.

• Display advertising networks

  This site may display advertising served by third-party networks. These networks use cookies or similar technologies to show advertisements that may be relevant to your interests, based on your browsing activity across sites.

• Behavioural targeting

  Where you have consented to advertising cookies, advertising networks may use data from your visit to this site to show you relevant advertisements elsewhere on the web. This is known as interest-based or behavioural advertising.

• Cookie usage for advertising

  Advertising cookies stored by third-party networks are governed by those networks' own privacy and cookie policies. Sekihi does not control the data collected by third-party advertising networks. See the Cookie Policy for more detail.

• Ad personalisation

  Where ad personalisation is enabled based on your consent, advertisements displayed may be selected using data about your interests inferred from your browsing. You may withdraw this consent at any time via the Cookie Policy page.

• Ad preference management

  You can manage your advertising preferences by adjusting your cookie consent settings on the Cookie Policy page. Changing these settings will take effect across the site immediately.

• Opt-out procedures

  To opt out of interest-based advertising from third-party networks, you may use the opt-out tools provided by those networks directly, or adjust your browser settings to block third-party cookies.

• Data collected for advertising

  Where advertising cookies are accepted, data about your activity on this site may be shared with advertising providers for the purposes of measurement and ad delivery. This data is subject to the advertising provider's privacy policy.

• Rights under privacy regulations

  You retain the rights described in the Privacy Policy in relation to any personal data collected in connection with advertising activities. Requests to access, correct or delete this data can be submitted via the Contact page.
