Advertising & External Links Policy
Our websites — including Dreamwhack, LucidityBooks, HiveAid, and related projects — display advertisements and external links as part of our effort to support the operation and maintenance of our platforms.
We value transparency and want our visitors to understand how ads and external links function across our sites.
1. Google AdSense Advertising
We participate in the Google AdSense program, which delivers automatically generated third‑party advertisements. These ads are selected by Google’s algorithms, not by us.
We do not control:
- The content of the ads
- The websites they link to
- The behavior or safety of external pages
If you choose to visit an external site through an advertisement, you do so at your own discretion.
2. Affiliate Links
Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support our work and keep our communities online.
Affiliate links are always disclosed clearly and transparently.
3. External Website Behavior
External websites may operate differently from ours. This includes:
- Different privacy practices
- Different security standards
- Different content policies
- Pop‑ups, redirects, or scripts outside our control
We encourage all visitors to use caution and good judgment when interacting with third‑party websites.
4. No Endorsement or Guarantee
The presence of an advertisement or external link does not imply:
- Endorsement
- Recommendation
- Verification
- Approval
We do not guarantee the accuracy, safety, or reliability of any third‑party content.
5. Reporting Problematic Ads
If you encounter an ad that appears misleading, inappropriate, or harmful (such as forced redirects, fake alerts, or system‑locking behavior), please contact us with:
- A screenshot
- The URL (if visible)
- A brief description of what happened
- We will report the ad to Google for review.
6. Updates to This Policy
This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in advertising practices, platform requirements, or compliance guidelines.
- If you’d like, I can also generate:
- A footer‑friendly micro‑disclosure
- A top‑bar notice (if you want a global warning)
- A site‑specific version for Dreamwhack, LucidityBooks, or HiveAid
