Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: June 2025

Slipstream is committed to transparency in how we earn revenue and how advertising interacts with the content on this website. This disclosure explains any financial relationships that may influence content, how advertising is served, and what controls you have as a visitor. We follow applicable guidelines, including FTC requirements for advertising transparency.

1. Affiliate relationships

  • Slipstream may participate in affiliate programmes that allow us to earn a commission when visitors click certain links and make a purchase or sign up for a service.
  • Affiliate links are clearly identified where they appear. Our editorial content and service recommendations are based on genuine assessment and are not solely determined by affiliate arrangements.
  • Compensation through affiliate programmes does not increase the cost to you as a visitor or purchaser. The price you pay remains the same whether you use an affiliate link or navigate directly to the provider.
  • We only participate in affiliate programmes for products and services we believe are relevant or useful to our audience.

2. Sponsored content

  • Any content on this website that has been paid for by a third party — including articles, reviews, or mentions — will be clearly labelled as "sponsored" or "paid partnership."
  • Sponsored content reflects the views of the sponsoring party and does not necessarily represent the views of Slipstream. We will note this where relevant.
  • We retain editorial discretion over how sponsored content appears on this site and will not publish material that is intentionally misleading or harmful.
  • Brand partnerships, where they exist, are disclosed clearly at the point of publication.

3. Third-party advertising

  • This website may display advertisements served through third-party platforms including display ad networks. These ads are served automatically and their content is not controlled by Slipstream.
  • Third-party advertisers may use cookies and similar technologies to display ads based on your past browsing behaviour. This is sometimes called behavioural targeting or interest-based advertising.
  • Cookie data used for advertising purposes is governed by those third-party platforms' own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies if you have concerns about how your data is used.
  • Ad personalisation practices are disclosed fully in our Cookie Policy.

4. User rights and controls

  • Opt out of ad personalisation — You can disable advertising personalisation and ad storage cookies via the Cookie Policy page.
  • Browser-level controls — Most browsers include settings to block third-party cookies, which will limit behavioural advertising tracking.
  • Data collected for advertising — Advertising platforms may collect interaction data when you click on or view an ad. This is subject to their own data policies.
  • GDPR and CCPA rights — If you are located in the European Union or California, you have additional rights regarding the collection and use of your data for advertising. Please see our Privacy Policy or contact us to exercise those rights.
