Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: May 2026
Our commitment to transparency
Sumwise is committed to being open about how this website is funded and what relationships — if any — influence the content you see. This page sets out our advertising and affiliate practices in full.
We believe that transparency is not just a legal requirement but a basic courtesy. If you're ever unsure about whether a recommendation is independent or commercially influenced, this page should answer that.
1. Affiliate relationships
From time to time, Sumwise may include links to products or services provided by third parties. In some cases, we may receive a commission or referral fee if you click through and make a purchase or sign up. This is known as affiliate marketing.
- — Affiliate links will always be identified as such where they appear on the site.
- — The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence editorial decisions or recommendations. We only reference products or services we believe to be genuinely useful.
- — Commissions earned through affiliate links do not affect the price you pay.
- — You are under no obligation to follow any affiliate link.
In compliance with FTC guidelines, all material connections between Sumwise and third parties are disclosed clearly.
2. Sponsored content
Occasionally, content on this site may have been produced in partnership with or partly funded by a third party. When this is the case:
- — Sponsored content is clearly labelled as "sponsored" or "in partnership with" wherever it appears.
- — Sponsors do not have editorial control over the content we produce. Our assessments and recommendations remain independent.
- — We do not accept payment to promote products or services we would not otherwise recommend.
- — Sponsored content represents the views of the sponsor only where explicitly stated.
3. Third-party advertising
This website may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks. These networks may use cookies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests.
- — Third-party advertisers may collect data about your browsing activity to deliver relevant ads. This is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.
- — Sumwise does not share personally identifiable information with advertising networks without your consent.
- — Behavioural targeting and cookie-based advertising are subject to your consent preferences. See our Cookie Policy to manage these.
- — Advertising content is clearly distinguishable from editorial content wherever both appear on the same page.
4. Your rights and controls
- — Ad preferences: You can manage whether advertising and tracking cookies are active by visiting our Cookie Policy page.
- — Opt-out: You can opt out of personalised advertising through standard browser settings or tools such as the NAI opt-out tool or Google's ad settings.
- — Data rights: Under applicable data protection regulations, you have the right to access, correct, or delete data collected about you. Requests can be submitted through our contact form.
- — No obligation: You are not required to interact with any advertisement on this site, and doing so is entirely voluntary.
