Current status
Display-ad positions on the site are non-clickable placeholders. They do not load an advertising provider, place advertising cookies or generate revenue. Restaurant, attraction and destination links are ordinary source links and do not currently pay ExploreNorden.
If display advertising is activated
Every placement will carry the visible label “Advertisement”. Advertising will remain separate from editorial cards and recommendation results. Non-essential advertising technology will stay blocked until the required consent platform is active and a visitor has made a valid choice.
If affiliate links are introduced
Each commission-earning link and its connected content will be clearly identified before the visitor clicks, using direct wording such as “Ad · affiliate link—we may earn a commission”. A generic footer disclaimer will not be used as a substitute for labelling the relevant link.
Sponsorships, hosted visits and gifts
Any paid collaboration, hosted stay, gifted experience or other material relationship will be disclosed prominently in the affected content. The disclosure will describe the relationship in plain language. Partners will not receive editorial approval rights over independent conclusions.
Ranking independence
Payment cannot buy a higher destination score, preferred map position, restaurant inclusion or favourable factual treatment. If a future comparison includes a paid placement, that placement will be separated and labelled rather than blended into the editorial ranking.
