Affiliate Disclosure

AdsBlocks.click is an independent web security information site operated by OPTIAI AS. This page describes the advertising, sponsorship, and affiliate relationships that contribute to the operation of this site, and the financial relationships associated with them.

This disclosure should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, and Cookie Policy.

1. Types of Third-Party Content and Advertising

We publish the following types of third-party and commercially supported content:

  • Display and native advertising — including ads served through Google Ads and similar networks
  • Affiliate links — links to partner products where we may earn a commission if you make a purchase
  • Sponsored content — clearly marked articles or reviews where a third party has paid for placement
  • Referral programs — where we receive payment for users who sign up for a service through our link

2. Our Affiliate Partners

We currently have affiliate relationships with the following companies and product families:

  • TotalAV (Total Security, Total WebShield, Total Adblock, Total VPN)
  • Nord Security (NordVPN, NordPass, NordLocker)
  • Bitdefender
  • AdGuard
  • Keeper Security

This list may change as we form new partnerships or end existing ones. Partnerships are reviewed regularly to ensure they align with our editorial standards.

3. How Affiliate Commissions Work

When you click an affiliate link on our site and subsequently make a qualifying purchase, we may receive a commission from the partner. The commission is paid by the partner and does not increase the price you pay — you pay exactly the same price whether you purchase through our link or navigate to the partner's site directly.

Commissions are typically a percentage of the sale value or a fixed fee per qualifying signup. Exact terms vary by partner and are confidential.

4. Editorial Independence

Our ratings, rankings, and editorial reviews are based on independent research and testing. The existence of an affiliate relationship with a product does not determine its placement in our rankings or guarantee a positive review.

We apply the same evaluation criteria to all products we review. A product with no affiliate relationship can — and does — receive a higher rating than one with an affiliate relationship if it is the better product. Our methodology is described on our How We Score page.

We may earn more from recommending one product over another. We acknowledge this conflict of interest and manage it by publishing our methodology and criteria transparently.

5. Labeling of Commercial Content

We label commercial content clearly:

  • Paid advertising is labeled "Ad," "Sponsored," or "Advertisement"
  • Sponsored articles are labeled "Sponsored Post" or "Press Release"
  • Landing pages and pages primarily designed to direct users to a partner product are labeled as advertisements
  • Pages with affiliate links include a notice at the bottom that they may earn a commission

6. Content Standards

All third-party content published on or promoted through our site must:

  • Be factually accurate and supported by verifiable evidence
  • Comply with FTC guidelines on endorsements and testimonials
  • Not make claims that are false, misleading, or unsubstantiated
  • Not disparage competitors through false statements

We reserve the right to decline, edit, or remove any third-party content at our discretion and without notice.

7. No Guarantee

The presence of a product, service, or link on our site does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of its quality, security, or fitness for your particular purpose. We recommend that you carefully review any product's terms of service, privacy policy, and refund policy before purchasing. Use any product at your own risk.

Verify before you buy. Promotional prices displayed on our site typically apply only during the initial subscription period. Check the partner's site for the current price, auto-renewal rate, and cancellation terms before completing a purchase.

8. Partner Responsibility

Each partner and advertiser is solely responsible for their products, services, and any representations made on their own website. We are not party to your agreement with any partner and are not responsible for disputes, billing issues, or service quality complaints. Those must be directed to the partner directly.
