Advertising Disclosure

Introduction

Sector Grid Lab operates this website as an informational and enquiry resource for its independent technical consultation services. We believe in honest, transparent communication with all visitors. This disclosure explains the nature of any commercial relationships that may exist between Sector Grid Lab and third parties, and how these may — or may not — influence the content you see on this site.

We do not allow commercial relationships to influence the independence of our technical findings or consultation work. Our reports are based solely on observation and data.

1. Affiliate Relationships

This website may contain links to third-party products, tools, or services. Some of these may be affiliate links — meaning Sector Grid Lab could receive a commission if you make a purchase or sign up through such a link. The following applies to all affiliate relationships:

• — Any affiliate link on this site will be identified as such, either through labelling or contextual disclosure on the relevant page
• — Affiliate relationships do not influence the content of consultation reports, which are produced independently
• — Commissions are earned only when a qualifying transaction occurs — there is no cost to you beyond the normal price of the product or service
• — We recommend only products or services we consider genuinely relevant to our industry and audience

2. Sponsored Content

Any content on this site produced in partnership with a third party — whether paid, gifted, or otherwise compensated — will be clearly labelled as sponsored or as a paid partnership. Our policy on sponsored content includes:

• — Sponsored posts or articles are marked with a visible disclosure label at the top of the content
• — Sector Grid Lab retains full editorial control over sponsored content — we do not publish material we do not agree with
• — Brand partnerships are entered into only where we believe the brand is genuinely relevant to the industry context of this site
• — Sponsored content is distinct from, and never presented as, the findings or recommendations of a Sector Grid Lab consultation engagement

This website may use third-party advertising networks to display advertisements. The following applies:

• — Third-party ad networks may use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing behaviour
• — Behavioural targeting, if used, is subject to your cookie consent preferences — see our Cookie Policy
• — Sector Grid Lab does not have direct control over which advertisements are served by third-party networks
• — Ad personalisation is applied only where you have consented to ad personalisation cookies

4. User Rights and Controls

You have meaningful control over how advertising-related data is collected and used:

• — You may manage or withdraw advertising cookie consent at any time via the Cookie Policy page
• — You may opt out of personalised advertising by disabling the relevant toggles in your cookie preferences
• — Data collected for advertising purposes is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy
• — You may request deletion of any personal data collected in connection with advertising by contacting us via the Contact page

5. FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in the spirit of transparency and in line with applicable guidelines for consumer protection and advertising disclosure, including those published by regulatory bodies such as the US Federal Trade Commission. Sector Grid Lab is committed to ensuring that all material connections — financial or otherwise — that could influence the content or recommendations on this site are clearly disclosed.
