Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: 18 December 2025
At Dataweave, we believe in transparency about our business relationships and how we generate revenue. This Advertising Disclosure explains our policies regarding affiliate relationships, sponsored content, and third-party advertising on our website.
We are committed to maintaining your trust by being open about any financial relationships that may influence the content we publish or the products and services we recommend.
Our Commitment to Transparency
We value the trust you place in us and are committed to maintaining that trust through honest and transparent disclosure of our advertising and business relationships. This policy outlines how we handle advertising, affiliate partnerships, and sponsored content on our website.
All disclosures on this page comply with the guidelines set forth by relevant advertising standards authorities and consumer protection regulations, ensuring you have the information needed to make informed decisions.
Affiliate Relationships
Affiliate Program Participation
Dataweave may participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links and make purchases through those links. These affiliate relationships allow us to maintain our website and continue providing valuable content and services.
When we include affiliate links on our website, we will clearly identify them as such. Your use of these links and any resulting purchases do not affect the price you pay for products or services.
Commission-Based Recommendations
Some product or service recommendations on our website may result in us receiving a commission if you make a purchase. These commission-based relationships exist with selected technology vendors, software providers, and service partners that we believe offer value to businesses seeking IT solutions.
Important: We only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe can benefit our clients. Our editorial judgment is not influenced by the existence or amount of any commission we may receive. All recommendations are based on our professional assessment of quality, reliability, and suitability for business needs.
Product Recommendation Policies
Our product recommendations are made in accordance with the following principles:
- We only recommend products and services we have personally evaluated or have extensive professional knowledge about
- Affiliate relationships do not determine which products we feature or recommend
- We disclose affiliate relationships clearly when recommending products
- We provide honest assessments of both benefits and limitations of recommended products
- We regularly review our recommendations to ensure they remain current and accurate
Financial Relationship Transparency
We maintain transparency about our financial relationships with technology vendors and service providers. If we receive compensation for recommending a product or service, we will disclose this relationship at the point of recommendation. This allows you to make informed decisions with full knowledge of any potential conflicts of interest.
Sponsored Content Policy
Identification of Paid Content
Any content on our website that has been sponsored, paid for, or influenced by a third party will be clearly identified as sponsored content. We use clear labels such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "Advertisement" to distinguish sponsored content from our regular editorial content.
Sponsored content meets the same quality standards as our regular content and provides value to our audience. However, it is created in collaboration with or compensation from a sponsor.
Sponsored Post Labeling
All sponsored posts, articles, or content pieces will include prominent disclosure at the beginning of the content. This disclosure will clearly state the nature of the sponsorship and identify the sponsoring party.
Even in sponsored content, we maintain editorial independence and will not publish content that misleads readers or makes unsubstantiated claims about products or services.
Brand Partnership Disclosures
When we enter into brand partnerships or collaborative relationships with technology companies, we disclose these relationships to our audience. Brand partnerships may involve content creation, case studies, co-branded materials, or joint promotional activities.
These partnerships are selected based on alignment with our values and relevance to our audience. We do not allow partnership arrangements to compromise the accuracy or integrity of our content.
Content Authenticity Standards
Whether content is sponsored or not, we maintain consistent standards for accuracy, usefulness, and professional quality. Sponsors do not have editorial control over content, and we reserve the right to decline or modify sponsored content that does not meet our standards or serve our audience's interests.
Third-Party Advertising
Display Advertising Networks
We may work with third-party advertising networks to display advertisements on our website. These advertising networks may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities to show you more relevant advertisements.
The advertisements displayed through these networks are clearly distinguishable from our editorial content. We do not control the content of advertisements served by third-party networks, but we have policies in place regarding acceptable advertising content.
Behavioural Targeting Disclosure
Some advertisements you see on our website may be targeted based on your browsing behaviour across multiple websites. This is known as interest-based or behavioural advertising. These advertisements are delivered by advertising networks that track your online activities to show relevant ads.
You have choices regarding behavioural advertising, which are explained in the "User Rights and Controls" section below.
Cookie Usage for Advertising
Advertising networks use cookies and similar technologies to deliver and measure the effectiveness of advertisements. These cookies may track your visits to our website and other websites to build a profile of your interests.
For more detailed information about how we use cookies, including advertising cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings or our cookie management tools.
Ad Personalization Practices
When we use advertising services that support personalized ads, these services may use information about your interests (inferred from your browsing activity) to show you more relevant advertisements. This personalization aims to show you ads for products or services that may be of interest to you, rather than random advertisements.
User Rights and Controls
Ad Preference Management
You have control over the types of advertisements you see. Many advertising networks provide tools that allow you to opt out of personalized advertising or manage your ad preferences. You can access these tools through the advertising network's privacy or ad settings pages.
Please note that opting out of personalized advertising does not mean you will see fewer advertisements. It means the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests.
Opt-Out Procedures
To opt out of interest-based advertising, you can:
- Use your browser settings to block or limit cookies
- Visit industry opt-out pages such as the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page
- Use browser extensions or privacy tools that block advertising trackers
- Adjust settings within individual advertising networks that we use
- Review and modify your cookie preferences through our Cookie Policy page
Keep in mind that opting out on one device or browser does not opt you out on other devices or browsers you use.
Data Collection for Advertising
Information collected for advertising purposes may include your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited on our website, time spent on pages, referring URLs, and general geographic location. This information is typically collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies.
For detailed information about data collection practices, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Rights Under Privacy Regulations
Under UK GDPR and other applicable privacy regulations, you have rights regarding data collected for advertising purposes. These rights include the right to access your data, request deletion, object to processing, and withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details provided below.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is created independently of our advertising and affiliate relationships. We maintain a clear separation between advertising and editorial functions to ensure that commercial relationships do not influence our content, recommendations, or professional opinions.
Key principles of our editorial independence:
- Editorial decisions are made based on relevance and value to our audience, not commercial considerations
- Sponsors and advertisers do not have input into editorial content unless clearly identified as sponsored content
- We do not allow payment to influence product reviews, comparisons, or recommendations
- Our professional assessments are based on merit, not financial relationships
- We disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may affect our content
Changes to This Advertising Disclosure
We may update this Advertising Disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our advertising practices, new partnerships, or regulatory requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
Material changes to our advertising practices will be communicated through prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this disclosure periodically to stay informed about how we handle advertising and affiliate relationships.
