Advertising Policy

We allow advertisements on the site in order to obtain the needed resources and provide quality content. Transparency is very important to us, so we hope that after reading this policy you will trust the content and services we offer even more.

FlixExpo strictly separates editorial content from advertising.

  • The separation between the editorial content and advertising or sponsored one is maintained through elements for distinguishing and borders and/or statements like ‘Advertisement’, ‘Ad’, ‘Sponsored’ whose purpose is to indicate that a certain piece of content is offered by a sponsor or on behalf of a sponsor.
  • Unless the content is sponsored, the editorial pieces are not related to the advertisements. In case the content is sponsored, though, it will be distinctly marked as ‘Ad’, ‘Advertisement’, or ‘Sponsored’.
  • The sponsored pieces of content and the advertisements that are featured on FlixExpo fall under the Guidelines stated here.

Disclosure of Affiliate and E-commerce Links

If some purchases were made through the links of FlixExpo’s e-commerce partners or contributors and/or FlixExpo participated in some similar affiliate marketing programs of third parties, they may get a compensation. Every page that has links connected to affiliate marketing, including reviews of products will be discovered and marked with a disclaimer.
