Sponsorship disclosure

How triedagents is funded

The site and newsletter are free. They are paid for by direct sponsorships: a sponsor buys a week in the sponsor bar at the bottom of every page and a "Sponsored by" line in that week's emails (details and price on Sponsor). At most three sponsors are shown at a time.

How sponsored content is labelled

• The bottom bar is titled "Sponsors" and every entry in it is tagged "Sponsor".
• Sponsor links carry rel="sponsored" and UTM tags so the sponsor can see visits came from us.
• Newsletter placements say "Sponsored by".
• When a slot is unsold, the bar says "Your logo here". We never show fake sponsors.
• The case grid and case pages are never paid placements; their order does not depend on sponsorship.

What sponsors cannot do

Sponsors cannot buy, see in advance, edit or remove a verdict. If we test a sponsor's product, we use the same rubric and publish the result, including Failed, and the case says that the company is a sponsor.

Ads and affiliate links

We currently show only direct sponsorships. We do not run third-party ad networks and do not use affiliate links. If that changes, we will update this page and our privacy policy first.
