Advertising Disclosure
Lumex Tide Grid is committed to transparency in all aspects of how we operate, including any commercial relationships that may influence the content you see on this site. This page sets out those relationships clearly. Last updated: 18 April 2025.
Our commitment to transparency
This Advertising Disclosure is provided in accordance with guidelines from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and comparable international advertising standards. We believe you have the right to know when content on our site has been influenced by a commercial relationship.
The nature of Lumex Tide Grid's services means our content is primarily informational and experience-focused. Nonetheless, we may from time to time enter into the kinds of arrangements described below, and we want to be clear about them.
Affiliate relationships
From time to time, this website may contain links to products, services, or websites operated by third parties. Some of these links may be affiliate links, meaning Lumex Tide Grid may earn a small commission if you make a purchase after clicking through — at no extra cost to you.
Our participation in affiliate programmes does not affect our editorial independence. We only link to or recommend products and services we consider genuinely relevant or useful.
-
Affiliate links are not marked differently in appearance but are disclosed in this policy.
-
Any commission earned helps support the maintenance of this website and the experiences we create.
-
Lumex Tide Grid recommends products and services based on honest assessment, not solely on whether a commission is available.
Sponsored content
Occasionally, Lumex Tide Grid may publish content that has been created in partnership with or financially supported by a brand or organisation. When this is the case, we will clearly label such content as "Sponsored" or "In partnership with [name]" at the beginning of the piece.
All sponsored content reflects our genuine views and meets the same editorial standards as our regular content.
Sponsors do not have editorial control over the content we publish.
Sponsored partnerships are entered into only when the sponsor's values and offerings are compatible with those of Lumex Tide Grid.
Third-party advertising
This website may display advertisements served by external advertising networks. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to show you ads based on your interests and browsing history.
Third-party advertisers operate under their own privacy and data policies, which are separate from Lumex Tide Grid's Privacy Policy.
Advertising cookies are used only with your consent, as set out in our Cookie Policy.
We do not control the content of third-party advertisements and are not responsible for any claims made within them.

If you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising more broadly, you may do so through your browser settings or through industry opt-out tools such as those provided by the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance.
Data collected for advertising
Where advertising cookies are active, anonymised data about your visit may be used to measure ad performance and to show you relevant content in future. We handle this data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection regulations, including GDPR where applicable.
