Advertising Disclosure

Fennmark is committed to transparency regarding any commercial relationships that may influence or appear on this website. This Advertising Disclosure explains our approach to affiliate partnerships, sponsored content, third-party advertising, and your rights as a visitor.

We believe you deserve to know when content on this website may be connected to a commercial relationship. This page is provided in accordance with applicable disclosure regulations, including guidelines set by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and equivalent regulatory frameworks in other jurisdictions.

1. Affiliate Relationships

This website is operated by a professional services firm in the maritime accounting sector. In some instances, the website may contain links to third-party tools, software, or services that Fennmark uses or recommends in a professional capacity.

Affiliate Programme Participation

Where Fennmark participates in affiliate programmes, we may receive a commission if you purchase a product or service through a link on this website. Affiliate relationships are entered into based on our assessment of the product or service's relevance and quality — not based on commission rates.

Commission-Based Links

Where a link is commission-based, it does not increase the cost to you. Any recommendation made by Fennmark reflects our genuine assessment, regardless of whether a commission relationship exists.

Product Recommendation Policy

We only recommend products, platforms, or services that have genuine relevance to the maritime accounting profession. Recommendations based on financial relationships will be clearly identified where applicable.

Financial Relationship Transparency

Any material financial relationship between Fennmark and a third party whose products or services are referenced on this website will be disclosed in the relevant content. We are committed to making these relationships visible and understandable.

2. Sponsored Content

Fennmark operates primarily as a professional services firm. Sponsored content is not a primary activity, but the following policies apply if it occurs:

Labelling. Any paid or sponsored content will be clearly labelled as such using language such as "Sponsored", "Paid Partnership", or similar prominent disclosure.
Editorial Standards. Sponsored content is subject to the same factual and professional standards as any other content on this website. Payment does not guarantee editorial endorsement.
Brand Partnerships. Any formal partnership with an external brand that influences content presentation will be disclosed prominently in the relevant section of the website.
Content Authenticity. Fennmark maintains editorial independence. Sponsors do not have the right to amend or dictate the substance of content produced in connection with a partnership.

3. Third-Party Advertising

This website may use third-party advertising networks to display relevant advertisements. These networks may collect data about your visits in order to serve targeted content.

Advertising Networks

Where display advertising is used, networks may include services such as Google Ads or similar platforms. These services operate under their own privacy and data use policies, which we encourage you to review.

Behavioural Targeting

Third-party advertising partners may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to display advertisements relevant to your browsing activity. This practice is known as interest-based or behavioural advertising.

Cookie Usage for Advertising

Advertising cookies may be placed on your device when you visit this website. You can manage or withdraw consent for advertising cookies at any time through our Cookie Settings page.

Ad Personalisation

If ad personalisation is active, data about your interactions with this website may be used to tailor advertising to your interests. This only occurs if you have provided consent for advertising cookies.
