Advertising Disclosure
How cleange.com is funded, and what that means for you.
Last updated:
The short version: cleange.com is a free resource. We earn revenue through advertisements displayed on the site. Ads are served by Google and are selected automatically — we do not hand-pick or endorse any advertised product.
How We Earn Revenue
cleange.com displays advertisements provided by Google AdSense. This is the primary way we fund the creation and maintenance of free tools and content.
Ad revenue allows us to:
- Keep all tools and content free with no paywalls or account requirements
- Cover hosting, infrastructure, and domain costs
- Invest in new content and tool development
How Ads Are Selected
Advertisements on cleange.com are served automatically by Google's ad network. We do not select, review, or endorse specific advertisements. Ad placement and content are determined by Google based on factors including:
- The topic of the page you are viewing
- Your browsing history and preferences (if you have not opted out of personalized ads)
- General demographic and geographic signals
The appearance of an advertisement on cleange.com does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of the advertiser or their products or services.
Editorial Independence
Advertising does not influence our content. Articles, guides, and tool features are created based on research and utility value — never based on advertiser relationships. We maintain strict separation between editorial content and advertising.
No advertiser has any input into what we write, which tools we build, or how we present information. Our obligation is to the reader, not the advertiser.
Affiliate Links
At this time, cleange.com does not use affiliate links. If we introduce affiliate partnerships in the future, this policy will be updated, and affiliate links will be clearly labeled wherever they appear.
Should affiliate content be introduced, we commit to:
- Only recommending products or services we have independently evaluated
- Clearly marking all affiliate links with a visible disclosure
- Never allowing affiliate relationships to influence editorial judgment
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and advertising. We believe in transparent communication about how our site is funded.
In keeping with FTC guidelines:
- We disclose all material connections that could affect the credibility of our content
- We clearly distinguish between editorial content and advertising
- We do not make deceptive claims about products or services
