Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: February 20, 2026
FTC Disclosure (United States)
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), ClawdContext discloses that some of the links on this website are affiliate links, and we may receive compensation when you click on them and make a purchase. This does not affect the price you pay.
1. How We Earn Revenue
ClawdContext is independently operated and funded through the following revenue streams:
Affiliate Links
Some articles contain links to products, tools, or services. When you purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links are clearly marked with disclosures in the article.
Newsletter Sponsorship
We may include paid placements in newsletter issues. Sponsored sections are explicitly labeled and separated from editorial content.
Display Advertising
We may display advertisements from ad networks on our site. These ads are served through privacy-respecting channels and gated by our consent management platform. Advertising cookies are only set with your explicit consent (EU/EEA) or with proper notice and opt-out mechanisms (US).
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, we may publish sponsored articles or reviews. All sponsored content is clearly labelled as "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership" at the top of the article. Our editorial opinions remain independent regardless of sponsorship.
2. Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is created independently. Affiliate relationships, advertisements, and sponsorships do not influence our opinions, reviews, or recommendations. We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe are valuable for AI security professionals. If a product is mentioned in an article, it's because we believe it provides genuine value, not because we received compensation.
3. How to Identify Affiliate Content
We identify affiliate and sponsored content in the following ways:
- Articles containing affiliate links include a disclosure notice near the top
- Sponsored content is labelled "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership"
- Product reviews disclose if the product was provided for free
- Comparison articles note any affiliate relationships with listed vendors
4. Advertising Partners
We may work with the following types of advertising and affiliate partners:
- Ad networks (consent-gated via Google Consent Mode v2 + our CMP)
- Security tool vendors (affiliate programs)
- Cloud infrastructure providers
- Developer tool companies
- Training and certification platforms
All advertising is subject to our cookie consent framework. No advertising cookies are set without your consent in the EU/EEA, and US users can opt out at any time. See our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.
5. EU Compliance
In compliance with EU consumer protection directives, commercial content on ClawdContext is identifiable as such. Sponsored articles, affiliate links, and advertising are transparently disclosed. We comply with the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (2005/29/EC) and relevant national implementations.
