Advertising disclosure

How Insight Dense makes money, and what that does and does not affect. Last updated September 2026.

Display advertising

The site carries display advertising served by third-party networks. Those slots are labelled "Advertisement" and are placed outside the flow of the article text. We do not sell placements that imitate editorial content, and we do not run ads that require a click to dismiss.

Ad networks may set cookies to measure performance. You can decline non-essential cookies using the banner on your first visit, and the site continues to work.

Affiliate links

Some stories, particularly buying guides, contain affiliate links. If you buy something through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Any article containing affiliate links says so in a note above the first paragraph.

Products are chosen before any commercial arrangement is considered. A commission does not move a product up a list, and we leave in the ones we do not recommend.

Sponsored content

If we publish content paid for by a third party, it is labelled "Sponsored" in the headline area, carries the sponsor's name, and is excluded from the homepage lead and from our newsletter's main slot. It is never written by the editorial team under their own byline.

Review samples

Where a product is sent to us free of charge for review, the article says so. Receiving a sample carries no promise of coverage, of a publication date, or of a favourable verdict.

What advertisers do not get

No advertiser, affiliate partner or sponsor sees editorial content before publication, influences what we cover, or has any ability to have a story changed or withdrawn. Editorial decisions are made by the editorial team alone, under the terms of our editorial policy.
