Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: January 30, 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Tessaline, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising practices and business relationships. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn compensation through various partnerships and advertising arrangements, and how these relationships may influence the content you see on our website.

We are committed to providing honest, valuable content regardless of any financial relationships. Our priority is helping you make informed decisions about digital marketing services and strategies.

Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships

What Are Affiliate Relationships?

An affiliate relationship exists when we earn a commission from recommending third-party products or services that you may purchase. When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a percentage of the sale at no additional cost to you.

How We Approach Affiliate Recommendations

Honest Evaluation: We only recommend products and services that we have thoroughly evaluated and believe provide genuine value. Our recommendations are based on quality, functionality, and relevance to our audience's needs, not solely on commission rates.

Personal Experience: Where possible, we recommend tools and services that we have personally used in our own work or that have been tested by members of our team. We do not endorse products we have no experience with.

Editorial Independence: Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or strategic recommendations. If a non-affiliate product better serves your needs, we will recommend it without hesitation.

Clear Identification: We make reasonable efforts to identify affiliate links and relationships within our content. However, not all links may be explicitly marked, so you should assume that any product or service links may be affiliate links.

Types of Affiliate Programs

We may participate in various affiliate programs, including marketing software platforms, analytics tools, advertising services, professional development resources, and business service providers. The specific programs we participate in may change over time as we evaluate new partnerships and discontinue others.

Sponsored Content and Brand Partnerships

What Constitutes Sponsored Content?

Sponsored content is material that we create in partnership with a brand or company that compensates us for featuring their products or services. This may take the form of dedicated articles, case studies, video content, or other media featuring a sponsor's offerings.

Our Sponsored Content Standards

Clear Labeling: All sponsored content is clearly identified as such. We use prominent disclosure language such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "In Partnership With" to ensure you know when content has been compensated.

Editorial Control: We maintain editorial control over all sponsored content. While sponsors may suggest topics or provide input, the final content, tone, and presentation remain under our control to ensure authenticity and value for our audience.

Selective Partnerships: We are selective about the brands and companies we partner with for sponsored content. We only accept sponsorships from organizations whose products or services align with our values and provide genuine value to our audience.

Balanced Perspective: Even in sponsored content, we strive to provide a balanced perspective, including both strengths and potential limitations of featured products or services where appropriate.

Current Brand Partnerships

As of the date of this disclosure, we do not have any active long-term brand partnership agreements. We may enter into such arrangements in the future and will update this section accordingly. Any temporary or project-based sponsorships will be disclosed within the relevant content.

Third-Party Advertising Networks

Display Advertising

We may display advertisements from third-party advertising networks on our website. These advertisements are served by advertising platforms and may be based on your browsing history, interests, or other factors.

How Display Advertising Works

Ad Networks: Third-party advertising companies may place cookies on your device to display relevant advertisements based on your browsing activity across multiple websites. These companies operate under their own privacy policies.

Remarketing: We may use remarketing services to show advertisements to people who have previously visited our website. These ads may appear on other websites you visit after leaving our site.

Content Relevance: While we strive to ensure advertisements are relevant and appropriate for our audience, we do not have complete control over which specific ads are displayed. The advertising networks make these decisions based on their algorithms and targeting criteria.

Ad Quality: We make reasonable efforts to work with reputable advertising networks that maintain quality standards. However, if you encounter an advertisement you find inappropriate or offensive, please contact us so we can address the issue with our advertising partners.

FTC Compliance and Legal Requirements

Federal Trade Commission Guidelines

We comply with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. These guidelines require us to disclose material connections between ourselves and the companies whose products or services we recommend.

What This Means for You

Material Connections: A material connection exists when we receive compensation, free products, or other benefits in exchange for featuring or recommending a product or service. We disclose these connections in accordance with FTC requirements.

Typical Earnings: The amount we earn from affiliate commissions or sponsored content varies and depends on factors such as the products recommended, commission rates, and whether you make a purchase. Your decision to purchase should be based on the value of the product to you, not on our potential earnings.

Your Purchase Decisions: You are never obligated to purchase products or services through our affiliate links. You can always choose to purchase directly from the company or through other channels.

User Rights and Advertising Controls

Your Choices Regarding Advertisements

Cookie Management: You can control how advertising cookies are used through your browser settings or by visiting our Cookie Policy page. Blocking advertising cookies may limit your ability to see personalized advertisements but will not affect your ability to access our content.

Ad Preferences: Many advertising networks offer opt-out tools that allow you to control the types of advertisements you see. You can typically access these through the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page or similar industry resources.

Do Not Track: Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature. While we respect your privacy preferences, the advertising networks we work with may not respond to Do Not Track signals. We encourage you to review their privacy policies for more information.

Reporting Issues: If you experience technical issues with advertisements on our site, encounter inappropriate content, or have concerns about specific advertisements, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Our Content Authenticity Guarantee

Independent Opinions: All opinions expressed on our website are our own, based on our professional experience and judgment. No sponsor or affiliate partner can pay for positive coverage or influence our editorial opinions.

Comprehensive Reviews: When we review products or services, we provide honest assessments including both benefits and drawbacks. We do not intentionally omit negative aspects of products we have affiliate relationships with.

Alternative Options: We regularly discuss alternative products and services, including those we have no financial relationship with, when they may better serve your needs.

Updated Information: We periodically review and update our content to ensure accuracy. If our opinion about a recommended product changes based on new information or experience, we will update our content accordingly.

Your Trust Matters: We recognize that our business depends on your trust. We would rather forgo commission income than recommend products or services that do not genuinely benefit our audience.
