Effective Date: 4 July 2026
At OnlineNews.ie, we believe in being transparent with our readers about how our website is funded. This Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure explains our approach to advertising, sponsored content and affiliate relationships.
1. Editorial Independence
OnlineNews.ie is committed to independent journalism.
Our editorial decisions are made solely on the basis of newsworthiness, public interest and journalistic integrity.
Advertisers, sponsors and affiliate partners do not influence our editorial content or news coverage.
2. Advertising
OnlineNews.ie may display advertisements supplied directly by advertisers or through third-party advertising networks.
Advertisements are intended to help support the operation of the website and enable us to continue providing free access to our content.
Where possible, advertisements will be clearly distinguishable from editorial content.
The appearance of an advertisement on OnlineNews.ie does not constitute an endorsement of the advertiser, its products or its services.
3. Sponsored Content
From time to time, OnlineNews.ie may publish sponsored articles, promotional features or other paid content.
Any such content will be clearly identified using labels such as:
- Sponsored
- Advertisement
- Paid Partnership
- Promotional Feature
Sponsored content is subject to our editorial standards and will be clearly separated from independent news reporting.
4. Affiliate Links
Some articles may include affiliate links to products or services.
If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, OnlineNews.ie may receive a commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate commissions help support the ongoing operation of the website.
We only include affiliate links where we believe they may be useful or relevant to our readers.
5. Product Reviews and Recommendations
Where we publish reviews, recommendations or buying guides:
- Our opinions are based on our own assessment and research.
- Any affiliate relationship will not influence our editorial judgement.
- If a product has been supplied for review, this will be disclosed where appropriate.
6. Third-Party Advertising
Advertisements displayed by third-party advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to personalise advertisements and measure their effectiveness.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for further information about how cookies are used.
7. No Guarantee
OnlineNews.ie does not guarantee the quality, availability or suitability of products or services advertised or linked to from our website.
Any transactions between readers and third-party businesses are solely between those parties.
OnlineNews.ie accepts no responsibility for products, services or websites operated by third parties.
8. Transparency
Our commitment is to maintain a clear distinction between editorial content and commercial content.
Readers should always be able to identify when content has been paid for or when a commercial relationship exists.
9. Changes to This Disclosure
We may update this Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure from time to time.
The latest version will always be published on this page together with the updated effective date.
