Advertising Disclosure
Sadame is committed to transparency regarding advertising relationships and any commercial interests that may be relevant to content on this website. This disclosure is provided in accordance with applicable guidelines on consumer transparency.
Last updated: 10 July 2025
Purpose of This Disclosure
This page describes the advertising and commercial relationships, if any, that exist in connection with this website. Sadame believes readers are best served by knowing when commercial considerations may be present in the content they are reading.
The primary purpose of this site is to describe and offer legal advisory services directly. Any advertising or affiliate activity on the site is secondary to that purpose and does not influence the accuracy or independence of the advisory work provided.
1. Affiliate Relationships
-
1.1
Affiliate programme participation
This website may, from time to time, participate in affiliate programmes that compensate Sadame if a visitor clicks a link and subsequently makes a purchase or takes an action with a third-party provider. Where this is the case, it will be indicated near the relevant link or content.
-
1.2
Commission-based links
Links marked as affiliate links may earn Sadame a commission. This does not add to the cost of any product or service you purchase through such a link. The existence of a commission arrangement does not affect the assessment or recommendation provided.
-
1.3
Product recommendation policy
Where products or services are mentioned or linked to on this site, any recommendation reflects a genuine assessment of their relevance or quality. Affiliate relationships do not determine which products or services are recommended.
-
1.4
Financial relationship transparency
Sadame does not accept payment in exchange for editorial coverage or positive reviews. Any financial relationship with a third party that may affect content is disclosed clearly in proximity to that content.
2. Sponsored Content
-
2.1
Identification of paid content
If this website publishes content that has been paid for by a third party, it will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored", "Paid Partnership" or an equivalent designation. The editorial standards applied to such content remain consistent with those applied to non-sponsored material.
-
2.2
Brand partnerships
Any formal partnership with a brand or organisation that involves compensation for content creation or promotion will be disclosed. The terms of such arrangements do not grant partners editorial control over site content.
-
2.3
Content authenticity
Sponsored or partnered content will represent honest assessments and will not contain claims that Sadame believes to be inaccurate or misleading. The presence of a commercial arrangement does not override the commitment to accuracy.
3. Third-Party Advertising
-
3.1
Display advertising networks
This website may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on browsing behaviour within and beyond this site. Sadame does not control the content of these advertisements directly.

3.2
Behavioural targeting
Where advertising is served on this site, advertisers or their networks may collect data about your online activity to serve advertisements relevant to your interests. This is known as interest-based or behavioural advertising. You may opt out of this type of targeting through your browser cookie settings or through industry opt-out tools.

Advertising cookies may be set by third-party networks when you visit pages on this site that contain their code. The use of such cookies is subject to your cookie consent preferences. You may manage these preferences via the Cookie Policy page.

3.4
Ad personalisation
If ad personalisation cookies are accepted, information about your site behaviour may be used by advertising partners to tailor the advertisements you see across the web. This is governed by the privacy policies of those partners, not solely by Sadame's privacy policy.
