Advertising & Editorial Disclosure

1. Advertising on This Site

We may display third-party advertising — such as Google AdSense — on public educational content (blog articles, guides, and similar pages) to support the operation of the website. Advertising is shown only with your cookie consent and can be turned off at any time via Cookie Settings in the footer or your browser controls.

2. Advertising Is Never a Medical Recommendation

• Ads are paid placements by third parties. They are not recommendations from our providers, and we do not select, review, or endorse the products or services advertised.
• Advertising does not influence provider clinical decisions in any way. Clinical decisions are made solely by licensed providers based on medical appropriateness.
• Editorial content is produced independently of advertisers. We do not accept payment to write or slant articles, and we do not present paid placements as neutral provider recommendations.
• Ads are visually separated from content and labeled "Advertisement." They are never labeled "recommended treatment," never styled to resemble diagnostic-order or booking buttons, and never placed so as to interfere with emergency warnings, navigation, or clinical instructions.

3. Health Data and Advertising Are Strictly Separated

We do not sell consumer health data, we do not use health information for advertising, and we do not permit third-party advertising systems to receive consumer health data. Advertising, where shown, is limited to public educational content using contextual (non-personalized) placement and never appears on clinical, intake, or patient-specific pages.

• Advertising and analytics scripts never load on clinical, intake, booking, patient-specific, or authenticated pages — enforced in code
• Advertising is contextual (based on the page's general topic), not personalized based on your health interests or medical browsing
• We do not create remarketing lists, health-condition audiences, or cross-site profiles based on medical pages, and we do not infer medical status for advertising

4. Affiliate and Partner Links

Some pages describe partner programs for diagnostic businesses; those are business-to-business services, not paid endorsements. If affiliate links are ever added to editorial content, they will be visibly disclosed on the page where they appear — not only here. Our footer also links to other healthcare websites under common or affiliated ownership; those are cross-promotional links, not independent recommendations, and no patient information passes between sites.

5. Sponsored Content

If sponsored content ever appears on this site, it will be clearly labeled as sponsored or paid placement within the content itself.
