Advertising, Sponsored Content and Affiliate Disclosure Last updated: Septe

Last updated: September 5, 2026

Megri.com is committed to being transparent about commercial relationships that may influence, support or appear alongside its publications.

This Advertising, Sponsored Content and Affiliate Disclosure explains how Megri.com handles advertisements, sponsorships, paid content, brand partnerships, complimentary products and affiliate links.

Megri.com produces and manages its publications through its own editorial team. We do not accept articles or editorial contributions from external contributors. Advertisers and commercial partners may provide factual information, product details, images or briefing materials, but Megri.com retains control over the content it publishes.

This Disclosure should be read together with our Editorial Policy, AI Use Policy, Terms of Use, General Disclaimer and Corrections Policy.

1. Our Approach to Commercial Content

Advertising and commercial partnerships help support the operation of Megri.com and allow much of our content to remain freely accessible.

Megri.com may receive money, products, services, complimentary access or another benefit in connection with certain content or links.

Where a commercial relationship could materially affect how a reasonable reader evaluates content, we aim to disclose that relationship clearly and appropriately.

A commercial arrangement does not permit an advertiser to publish unlawful, deceptive or materially inaccurate claims on Megri.com.

2. Types of Commercial Relationships

Megri.com may participate in arrangements involving:

  • Display advertising.
  • Programmatic advertising.
  • Sponsored articles.
  • Sponsored sections or special features.
  • Paid brand mentions.
  • Commercial partnerships.
  • Advertorial content.
  • Affiliate links.
  • Referral arrangements.
  • Product samples.
  • Complimentary services or access.
  • Event or campaign sponsorships.
  • Paid social media promotion.
  • Newsletter sponsorships.
  • Other clearly identified promotional content.

The type of disclosure used will depend on the nature of the relationship and the way the content is presented.

3. Display and Programmatic Advertising

Megri.com may display advertisements supplied directly by advertisers or delivered through third-party advertising networks.

These advertisements may appear:

  • Above, below or within articles.
  • In the Website header, footer or sidebar.
  • In newsletters.
  • In video or multimedia content.
  • On category and search pages.
  • In other clearly recognizable advertising areas.

Display advertisements are generally controlled by the advertiser or advertising network. Their appearance does not mean that Megri.com has tested, verified or endorsed the advertised product or service.

Advertising providers may use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to select, deliver or measure advertisements. Additional information is available in our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.

4. Sponsored Content

Sponsored content is content for which Megri.com has received or expects to receive compensation or another material benefit.

Sponsored content may include:

  • Articles.
  • Guides.
  • Brand profiles.
  • Product or service features.
  • Interviews.
  • Videos.
  • Social media posts.
  • Newsletter placements.
  • Special editorial projects.

Sponsored content should be identified using a reasonably clear label such as:

  • Sponsored
  • Sponsored Content
  • Paid Content
  • Advertisement
  • Paid Partnership

The particular label may vary depending on the format and context.

A sponsorship disclosure should appear in a position where readers can reasonably notice it before or while engaging with the sponsored material.

5. Production of Sponsored Content

Sponsored content published on Megri.com is prepared, reviewed or approved through Megri.com’s own publishing process.

An advertiser or commercial partner may provide:

  • Product specifications.
  • Company information.
  • Approved quotations.
  • Images and brand assets.
  • Research or supporting documents.
  • Campaign requirements.
  • Corrections to factual company information.

However, Megri.com may edit, revise, reject or remove content that does not meet its standards or applicable requirements.

Advertisers cannot require Megri.com to:

  • Publish a false factual claim.
  • Conceal a material commercial relationship.
  • Create a fake testimonial.
  • Misrepresent a product-testing experience.
  • Imitate independent reporting deceptively.
  • Publish unlawful or infringing material.
  • Falsely attribute an opinion to an author or editor.

6. Paid Brand Mentions and Placements

Some articles may contain a brand, company, product or service included as part of a paid commercial arrangement.

Where payment or another material benefit influenced the inclusion, placement or prominence of a brand, an appropriate disclosure should be provided.

A paid brand mention does not guarantee:

  • That the brand is the best option for every reader.
  • That Megri.com has personally tested every product or service.
  • That the claims made by the brand have been independently verified in every respect.
  • That the product or service will remain available.
  • That every reader will achieve the same result.

Readers should conduct their own research before making a purchasing or business decision.

7. Advertorials and Native Advertising

Some commercial content may be designed to resemble the surrounding style or format of Megri.com’s editorial content. This may be described as advertorial or native advertising.

Such material should be labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial content.

Labels should use clear language and should not rely solely on vague terms that may not communicate the commercial nature of the material.

Where an advertiser exercises substantial control over the message, the content should not be presented as wholly independent editorial reporting.

8. Affiliate Links

Some Megri.com articles may contain affiliate links.

If you select an affiliate link and make a purchase, subscription or other qualifying transaction, Megri.com may receive a commission, referral fee or other benefit from the relevant merchant or affiliate network.

Unless expressly stated otherwise:

  • You do not pay an additional charge because you used an affiliate link.
  • The merchant, not Megri.com, processes the transaction.
  • The merchant controls prices, availability, delivery, warranties, returns and customer service.
  • The transaction is governed by the merchant’s terms and privacy policy.

An affiliate relationship does not guarantee that a product or service is suitable for every reader.

Where appropriate, an affiliate disclosure may state:

This article may contain affiliate links. Megri.com may earn a commission if you purchase through these links, at no additional cost to you.

The disclosure should appear clearly within or near the relevant content and should not be hidden only within this general policy.

9. Product Samples and Complimentary Access

Megri.com may receive:

  • Complimentary products.
  • Trial subscriptions.
  • Software access.
  • Event tickets.
  • Travel or accommodation.
  • Review units.
  • Discounts.
  • Other benefits.

Receiving something of value may create a material relationship even when no cash payment is made.

Where such a relationship could affect how readers evaluate the content, it should be disclosed.

Receiving a product or service does not guarantee favourable coverage, permanent publication or a particular rating.

10. Reviews, Comparisons and Rankings

Megri.com may publish reviews, comparisons, lists, rankings and buying guides involving commercial products or services.

These materials may be based on factors such as:

  • Features and specifications.
  • Publicly available information.
  • Pricing and value.
  • Reputation.
  • Customer feedback.
  • Available demonstrations or trials.
  • Direct product experience where applicable.
  • Editorial research and judgment.

If Megri.com has not personally tested a product, the content should not claim or imply first-hand testing.

A commercial relationship may influence whether a company or product is considered for inclusion. Where that relationship is material, it should be disclosed.

Payment does not permit a company to purchase a fabricated user experience, false testimonial or knowingly false factual claim.

Rankings and recommendations may change as products, pricing, availability, research or editorial assessments change.

11. Editorial Independence

Megri.com aims to maintain a reasonable distinction between independent editorial content and commercial material.

Our editorial team may:

  • Decline a proposed advertisement or sponsorship.
  • Request substantiation for a claim.
  • Edit content for accuracy, clarity, style and legal compliance.
  • Require a sponsorship or affiliate disclosure.
  • Correct inaccurate information.
  • Remove content that no longer complies with our standards.
  • Refuse misleading, unlawful or inappropriate advertising.

Commercial partners do not automatically receive the right to approve unrelated editorial coverage about their businesses, products, competitors or industries.

A past, current or proposed commercial relationship does not prevent Megri.com from reporting accurate and relevant information.

12. Claims Made by Advertisers

Advertisers and commercial partners are responsible for ensuring that their claims, materials and instructions comply with applicable law.

Megri.com may request reasonable evidence supporting claims concerning:

  • Product performance.
  • Health or safety.
  • Financial benefits.
  • Prices and discounts.
  • Environmental benefits.
  • Awards or certifications.
  • Customer outcomes.
  • Comparative superiority.
  • Professional qualifications.
  • Availability or guarantees.

Reviewing an advertising claim does not mean Megri.com independently guarantees its accuracy.

Readers should confirm material claims directly with the relevant advertiser or provider before acting upon them.

13. Testimonials and Endorsements

Any testimonial or endorsement published in commercial content should reflect a genuine opinion, finding, belief or experience.

Megri.com does not permit the knowing publication of:

  • Fabricated testimonials.
  • Fake customer reviews.
  • AI-generated consumer experiences presented as real.
  • Endorsements attributed to people who did not provide them.
  • Materially altered quotations that misrepresent the speaker.
  • Claims that cannot lawfully be made directly by the advertiser.

Where an endorser has a material relationship with a brand, that relationship should be disclosed where required.

Individual experiences are not guarantees that every reader will obtain the same result.

14. Advertising Involving Sensitive Subjects

Megri.com may apply additional review to advertising or sponsored content involving:

  • Health and medical products.
  • Financial or investment services.
  • Legal services.
  • Employment opportunities.
  • Children or vulnerable individuals.
  • Political or public-interest matters.
  • Safety-related products.
  • Regulated goods or services.
  • High-risk financial or personal decisions.

Megri.com may reject content that appears deceptive, unsafe, exploitative, discriminatory or inconsistent with our editorial standards.

Publication of an advertisement does not constitute professional medical, legal, financial or other advice.

15. Artificial Intelligence in Commercial Content

Artificial-intelligence tools may assist appropriate parts of commercial-content production in accordance with our AI Use Policy.

AI must not be used to create:

  • Fake reviews.
  • Fabricated testimonials.
  • False endorsements.
  • Non-existent experts.
  • Deceptive product demonstrations.
  • Misleading before-and-after results.
  • Synthetic images or recordings falsely presented as authentic evidence.

Materially AI-generated or altered content should be disclosed when necessary to prevent readers from being misled.

16. Social Media and Newsletters

Megri.com may publish or distribute sponsored or affiliate material through social media accounts and newsletters.

Commercial relationships should be disclosed within the relevant post, message, image, audio or video where appropriate.

The disclosure should be reasonably noticeable without requiring the reader to search through unrelated links, hashtags or separate policy pages.

Depending on the format, labels may include:

  • Ad
  • Advertisement
  • Sponsored
  • Paid Partnership
  • Affiliate Link

Platform-provided disclosure tools may be used, but additional wording may be added when needed for clarity.

17. Advertising Links and Search Practices

Megri.com may apply appropriate technical attributes to advertising, sponsored or affiliate links according to its publishing and search-engine practices.

A commercial arrangement does not guarantee:

  • Search-engine indexing.
  • A particular search ranking.
  • Referral traffic.
  • Sales or enquiries.
  • Inclusion in AI-generated answers.
  • Continued visibility on a third-party platform.
  • Permanent publication.

Search engines, social networks, AI platforms and other third parties control their own systems and results.

18. No Guarantee or Endorsement

The appearance of a product, service, company or advertisement on Megri.com does not by itself constitute a guarantee or endorsement.

Megri.com does not guarantee:

  • Product quality or performance.
  • Merchant reliability.
  • Availability or delivery.
  • Pricing or discounts.
  • Customer-service standards.
  • Safety or legal compliance.
  • Suitability for a particular reader.
  • Results promised by an advertiser.

Readers remain responsible for evaluating products, services and commercial claims before entering into a transaction.

19. Transactions with Third Parties

Purchases and other transactions initiated through advertisements or affiliate links generally take place directly between you and the third-party merchant.

Megri.com is not normally:

  • The seller.
  • The payment processor.
  • A party to the purchase contract.
  • Responsible for shipping or delivery.
  • Responsible for returns, refunds or warranties.
  • Responsible for third-party customer service.

Any complaint about a transaction should first be directed to the relevant merchant, platform or payment provider.

Nothing in this section limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

20. Advertising Technology and Privacy

Advertising partners may use cookies, pixels, tags and similar technologies to:

  • Deliver advertisements.
  • Measure impressions and engagement.
  • Limit how often an advertisement appears.
  • Understand campaign performance.
  • Personalize advertising where permitted.
  • Detect fraud and invalid traffic.

These activities may involve information about your device, browser, approximate location and interactions with the Website.

21. Corrections and Changes

Commercial content may be corrected, updated or removed if it contains a material error, becomes outdated or no longer complies with our standards.

Advertisers may request correction of inaccurate factual details, but they cannot require Megri.com to remove accurate information merely because it is unfavourable.

Correction requests are handled in accordance with our Corrections Policy.

Megri.com may add, revise or strengthen a commercial disclosure if the existing disclosure is incomplete or unclear.
