Affiliate and Advertising Disclosure
How Live in PT may use future ads, affiliate links, sponsored content, and clear labelling while protecting editorial independence.
Live in PT may use advertising, affiliate links, or sponsored placements in the future. This page explains how those relationships should be handled so readers can understand when money may be involved.
Current advertising status
Ads are disabled by default. No empty ad boxes should appear before advertising is approved and active. Ads should not appear on policy pages, contact pages, about pages, disclaimer pages, or the 404 page.
Affiliate links
Some future links may be affiliate links. This means Live in PT could earn a commission if a reader clicks a link and buys or signs up for a product or service. Affiliate links should be used only where they are relevant to the reader and clearly disclosed.
Sponsored content
Sponsored content, if accepted, must be clearly labelled. Sponsored material should not be presented as independent editorial guidance, and sponsorship must not change factual explanations of official processes.
Editorial independence
Paid relationships must not influence factual guides about documents, immigration, tax, housing, banking, healthcare, work, study, or public services. We do not accept paid influence over what official sources say, what requirements apply, or what readers should verify.
Ad labels
Manual ad labels should say only "Advertisement" or "Sponsored". Ads should not be placed close to navigation, forms, buttons, mobile menus, or any element where a reader could confuse an ad with a site control.
Government affiliation
Live in PT is not affiliated with AIMA, IRN, Finanças, Segurança Social, SNS, gov.pt, or any Portuguese government authority. Advertising or affiliate relationships do not create any government endorsement.
