Advertising Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Meridian Path, transparency is central to how we conduct business. This Advertising Disclosure explains our relationships with third parties, including any affiliate partnerships, sponsored content arrangements, and advertising practices that may influence the content on our website or the recommendations we provide.

We believe you have the right to know when we may receive compensation for products, services, or partnerships we discuss or recommend. This disclosure outlines these relationships clearly so you can make informed decisions.

Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships

General Affiliate Disclosure

Meridian Path may participate in affiliate programs with select third-party service providers, software platforms, or business tools. When you use a link on our website to visit these partners and make a purchase or sign up for services, we may receive a commission or referral fee.

These affiliate relationships allow us to offset costs associated with maintaining our website and providing resources to our audience. However, we only partner with services we genuinely believe provide value, and affiliate arrangements do not influence our core advisory services or strategic guidance.

How Affiliate Relationships Work

When we include affiliate links on our website:

The price you pay remains the same whether you use our link or not
We receive a small commission if you make a purchase through our link
Your transaction is directly with the third-party provider, not with us
We do not have access to your payment information
Any support or service issues must be addressed with the provider directly

Product and Service Recommendations

When we recommend products, services, or tools, whether affiliated or not, our recommendations are based on:

Our professional assessment of quality and utility
Relevance to international business needs
Feedback from our network and clients
Personal experience or thorough research

We do not recommend products or services solely because of potential commission. If we believe a non-affiliated alternative better serves your needs, we will tell you.

Financial Relationship Transparency

To maintain full transparency, we clearly disclose when content includes affiliate links or when we have a financial relationship with mentioned companies. Look for disclosures such as "affiliate link," "partner," or similar language near relevant content.

We do not directly control which specific ads appear on our website, though we work with reputable advertising partners and exclude categories we deem inappropriate for our professional audience.

Behavioral Targeting and Cookies

Third-party advertisers may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver targeted advertisements. These technologies track your browsing behavior across multiple websites to show you relevant ads.

For detailed information about cookies and how to manage them, please see our Cookie Policy. You have control over advertising cookies and can opt out of personalized advertising.

Advertising Partners

We may work with various advertising partners and networks, which may include:

Google AdSense or Google Ad Manager
Professional networking platforms
Business-to-business advertising networks
Industry-specific advertising services

These partners have their own privacy policies and advertising practices. We encourage you to review their policies to understand how they handle your data.

Advertising Standards

We strive to maintain high advertising standards and work with partners who respect our audience. We exclude or attempt to filter:

Misleading or deceptive advertisements
Content unrelated to business or professional interests
Inappropriate or offensive material
Potentially harmful or fraudulent offers

Your Rights and Advertising Controls

Managing Ad Preferences

You have several options for controlling the advertisements you see:

Data Collection for Advertising

When you visit our website, advertising partners may collect information such as:

Pages you visit and content you view
Time spent on different sections
Links clicked and actions taken
Device information and browser type
General location information

This data is used to deliver relevant advertisements and measure advertising effectiveness. For details about data collection practices, see our Privacy Policy.

Opt-Out Procedures

To opt out of personalized advertising:

Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page
Use the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tool
Adjust your Google Ad Settings if we use Google advertising
Enable "Do Not Track" in your browser settings

Note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you'll see fewer ads—it means the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests.

Rights Under Privacy Regulations

Depending on your location, you may have additional rights regarding advertising data under regulations like GDPR or similar laws. These rights typically include access to your data, correction of inaccuracies, deletion of data, and restriction of processing. Contact us to exercise these rights.

Regulatory Compliance

While Meridian Path is based in Cyprus, we recognize the importance of international advertising standards and regulations. We strive to comply with relevant guidelines including:

FTC Guidelines (United States)

For any content directed at US audiences, we follow Federal Trade Commission guidelines regarding endorsements, testimonials, and affiliate relationships. This includes clear and conspicuous disclosure of material connections.

EU Consumer Protection Rules

We comply with European Union consumer protection and advertising directives, including requirements for transparent commercial communications and unfair commercial practices regulations.

Professional Standards

As business advisors, we adhere to professional standards that require honest dealing, disclosure of conflicts of interest, and prioritization of client interests above commercial considerations.

Testimonials, Reviews, and Endorsements

Client Testimonials

Testimonials on our website represent genuine feedback from real clients. We do not fabricate testimonials or pay for positive reviews. All testimonials reflect individual experiences and should not be taken as guarantees of similar results for your business.

Third-Party Product Reviews

If we review third-party products or services, we disclose any relationship we have with the provider. Reviews are based on:

Direct experience with the product or service
Research and evaluation of features
Feedback from our network
Professional assessment of value for international businesses

Compensation for Endorsements

If we receive compensation, products, or other benefits in exchange for reviews or endorsements, this relationship is clearly disclosed. Our assessments remain honest regardless of compensation.

Changes to This Disclosure

We may update this Advertising Disclosure periodically to reflect changes in our advertising practices, new partnerships, or regulatory requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when changes were last made.

Significant changes will be communicated through a prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this disclosure periodically to stay informed about our advertising relationships and practices.
