BeautyTims may fund its publication through advertising, sponsored content and affiliate commissions. This page explains how those arrangements should be identified. It does not claim an existing partnership with any particular brand, retailer or advertising network.
Display advertising
Paid placements should be recognizable as advertising and separated visually from editorial recommendations. An advertisement appearing on a page does not mean BeautyTims has tested or endorsed the advertised product. Advertisers are responsible for their offers; readers should check the destination website before making a purchase.
Sponsored articles and collaborations
If a brand pays for an article or other editorial-style placement, the content should be labeled Sponsored or Advertisement prominently before the main content. The label should identify the commercial nature of the arrangement rather than rely on vague wording. Material brand involvement should be explained where relevant.
Affiliate links
Some links may earn BeautyTims a commission on a qualifying purchase. Articles using those links should disclose this near the beginning. Affiliate links and paid sponsorships are different arrangements, and one disclosure should not conceal the other. Our Affiliate Disclosure provides more detail.
Gifted products and other benefits
If coverage involves a free product, travel, hospitality or another material benefit from a brand, that connection should be disclosed in the relevant article. Receiving a product must not be described as testing it unless direct evaluation actually occurred. A supplied sample does not guarantee publication or a favorable conclusion.
Editorial boundaries
Commercial arrangements should not determine independent editorial conclusions. Product coverage should include meaningful limitations and alternatives. Claims about results, credentials and testing require evidence regardless of who funds the content. See our Editorial Policy.
