Advertising and sponsorship policy

Advertising and sponsorship never purchase a higher organic rank. Paid material is labelled before interaction and is visually distinct. Advertisers do not approve medical editorial content.

Current status

The current release contains no advertising, sponsored placements, or paid rankings. This policy sets the rules that any future commercial content must follow.

Rules for any future paid content

• Paid placement is labelled Sponsored before a user interacts with it.
• Sponsored status never alters factual filters or organic sort order.
• Commercial relationships are separated from editorial and verification decisions.
• We do not build health-interest advertising audiences or send condition or treatment choices to ad networks.
