Advertising Disclosure

Cargion is committed to transparency in all aspects of how this website operates, including its commercial relationships. This page explains our approach to advertising, affiliate partnerships, and sponsored content, in accordance with FTC guidelines and applicable regulations.

Our primary goal is to provide accurate, useful information to transport and logistics businesses. Any commercial relationships described below do not alter the independence of the information we publish.

1. Affiliate Relationships

This website may contain affiliate links — links to third-party products or services through which Cargion may receive a commission if you make a purchase or sign up for a service. Please be aware of the following:

• Commission-based links — when you click an affiliate link and complete a qualifying action (such as a purchase), we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
• Product recommendations — any recommendation made on this website is based on our assessment of the product or service's relevance and quality. Affiliate status does not influence whether or how a product is recommended.
• Financial relationship transparency — where a financial relationship exists between Cargion and a third party referenced on this site, we will make this clear in the relevant content where required by law or best practice.
• Participation in affiliate programmes — Cargion may participate in various affiliate programmes. Participation in such programmes does not affect the editorial independence of this website's content.

2. Sponsored Content

Occasionally, content on this website may be produced in collaboration with or funded by a third party. The following standards apply to all such content:

• Clear labelling — any content that has been paid for or produced in partnership with a brand will be clearly identified as sponsored at the top of that content.
• Editorial standards — sponsored content is subject to the same accuracy standards as all other content on this website. We do not publish sponsored content that we believe to be misleading or inaccurate.
• Brand partnerships — where Cargion has an ongoing partnership with a company, this will be disclosed in any content where that relationship is relevant.
• Authenticity — we will not publish favourable reviews or recommendations solely because of a commercial arrangement. Our assessments remain our honest opinion.

3. Third-Party Advertising

This website may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks. Key points about how this works:

• Display advertising — advertisements may be served by networks including Google Ads. We do not control the specific ads shown, only the categories and types permitted.
• Behavioural targeting — with your consent, third-party advertising networks may use cookies to show you ads based on your browsing history and interests.
• Cookie use for advertising — advertising cookies are only placed with your explicit consent. See our Cookie Policy for details on managing these preferences.
• Ad personalisation — if you have permitted personalisation, advertising networks may tailor ads to your interests. You can withdraw this consent at any time via our cookie preferences.

4. Your Rights and Controls

• Ad preference management — you can adjust which types of advertising cookies are active via our Cookie Policy page.
• Opt-out options — you may opt out of personalised advertising through the NAI Consumer Opt-Out or Google's Ad Settings, independent of our cookie controls.
• Data collected for advertising — with your consent, limited data (such as pages visited and referral source) may be shared with advertising networks for measurement purposes.
• Rights under privacy regulations — you have rights under applicable law (including CCPA and GDPR where applicable) to access, correct, or delete data collected about you. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
