Advertising Disclosure

ContractLocker is a commercially funded publication. Our journalism is supported by a combination of subscription revenue, display advertising and clearly labelled sponsored content.

Editorial independence is a founding principle of ContractLocker. Our newsroom operates independently of our commercial team, and advertisers have no influence over our editorial decisions, story selection or news reporting.

Sponsored content is always labelled as such at the top of the article. Where a piece has been produced in collaboration with a commercial partner it will be clearly identified and separated from our independent editorial output.

We do not accept advertising for products or services that we consider harmful, misleading or contrary to our editorial values. We reserve the right to decline any advertising placement without giving reasons.

Affiliate links, where used, are disclosed in the article in which they appear. Purchases made through such links may result in a commission being paid to ContractLocker, but this has no bearing on editorial coverage or recommendations.

Our advertising specifications, rate card and audience information are available on request from the commercial team through the Contact Information page.

We review our Advertising Disclosure annually to ensure it reflects our current practices and complies with the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland's codes of conduct.
