Advertising Disclosure

Mast Core Lab is committed to transparency. This page explains any commercial relationships that may exist between Mast Core Lab and third parties, how any such relationships might affect content on this site, and what controls are available to you as a visitor.

We believe that visitors deserve to know when content is influenced by a financial relationship, even where that relationship does not affect the objectivity of what is written. This disclosure is maintained in the interest of full transparency.

• Programme participation

  This website may at times include links to third-party products or services through affiliate programmes. When you click such a link and make a purchase, Mast Core Lab may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

• Commission-based links

  Affiliate links are included only where the linked resource is considered genuinely relevant. The presence of a commission arrangement does not influence whether a resource is recommended; resources are assessed on their merits first.

• Identification

  Where affiliate links appear, they will be identified clearly — typically with a label or disclosure note adjacent to the link. If you are unsure whether a link is affiliated, you may contact us to ask.

• Financial relationship transparency

  Mast Core Lab's primary commercial activity is advisory work. Affiliate income, where it exists, is ancillary and does not create editorial obligations to any affiliate partner.

• Paid content identification

  If any content on this website has been produced in exchange for payment or other compensation from a third party, it will be clearly labelled as sponsored. This label will appear at the top of the relevant content.

• Editorial independence

  Sponsorship arrangements do not grant sponsors editorial control over content. The views and conclusions in any content on this site remain those of Mast Core Lab.

• Current status

  As of the date shown above, no sponsored content is active on this website. This notice will be updated if that changes.

• Display advertising

  This website may use third-party advertising networks to display advertisements. These networks may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on previous visits to this or other websites.

• Behavioural targeting

  Where advertising cookies are consented to, data about your browsing behaviour may be used to show advertisements considered more relevant to your interests. This applies only when you have opted in to advertising cookies.

• Cookie usage

  Advertising networks may place their own cookies on your device when ads are displayed. Mast Core Lab does not control these third-party cookies. See our Cookie Policy for further detail.

• Ad personalisation

  Ad personalisation is only active where you have consented. You may adjust this preference at any time from the cookie preferences page.

• Ad preference management

  You can manage advertising cookie preferences at any time through the cookie preference panel, accessible from the banner shown on your first visit or via our Cookie Policy page.

• Opt-out options

  You may opt out of interest-based advertising by adjusting your cookie preferences, clearing existing cookies in your browser, or visiting opt-out tools provided by advertising networks where applicable.

• Data collection for advertising

  If advertising cookies are enabled, certain data — such as pages visited and time spent — may be shared with advertising partners. This data is pseudonymous and is not used to identify you personally.

• Rights under privacy regulations

  You retain rights over personal data used in connection with advertising, including the right to access, correct and delete that data. See our Privacy Policy for how to exercise these rights.
