Last updated: 15 May 2025
Our commitment to transparency
Distrell believes that honesty about commercial relationships is simply the right thing to do. This page explains when and how advertising, affiliates, or sponsored content may appear on this website, so you can engage with our content knowing the full picture.
We have no interest in obscuring commercial arrangements. If something on this site has a financial relationship attached, we say so here.
1. Affiliate relationships
From time to time, this website may contain links to third-party products, tools, or services. Where those links are affiliate links, Distrell may receive a commission if you click through and make a purchase.
- – Affiliate links do not add any cost to you as a user — you pay the same price whether you arrive via an affiliate link or directly.
- – We only link to products or services we believe are relevant and useful. Commissions do not influence our editorial judgement.
- – Where affiliate links are used, we will clearly indicate this in the relevant content where practically possible.
- – Any financial relationship with a third party will not affect our honest assessment of their products or services.
2. Sponsored content
If Distrell publishes content that has been produced in partnership with or financially supported by a third party, it will be labelled clearly as sponsored or as a partnership. This commitment applies to:
- – Articles, guides, or case studies produced with external commercial support.
- – Any content for which Distrell has received payment or other consideration in exchange for publication.
- – Product reviews or recommendations where a commercial relationship exists with the subject.
Sponsored content reflects our genuine views. We do not publish content we disagree with simply because a commercial relationship exists.
3. Third-party advertising
This website may display advertising served by third-party advertising networks, including Google. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to show relevant advertisements based on your browsing activity.
- – Advertising networks collect data about your visits to this and other websites to serve relevant ads.
- – This practice is known as interest-based or behavioural advertising.
- – Cookie preferences on this site can be adjusted using our Cookie Policy page.
- – Distrell does not control which specific advertisements are served by third-party networks.
4. Your rights and controls
You have meaningful options when it comes to advertising data and preferences:
- – Cookie preferences: Visit our Cookie Policy page to manage advertising cookie consent at any time.
- – Opt-out from Google Ads: You can manage Google's advertising preferences through Google's Ad Settings.
- – Browser controls: Your browser settings allow you to block or limit cookies, which will reduce interest-based advertising.
- – Data requests: You may contact us to request information about any data collected in connection with advertising. Use our contact page to do so.
- – Under applicable privacy regulations including GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
