Advertising Policy Advertising Policy Thank you for visiting Good Cholesterol Count, and for you interest in our Advertising Policy. Good Cholesterol Count strives to provide its community of consumers with health information we believe to be relevant and important to their needs. The purpose of this policy is to explain the types of advertising we feature on our site and the rules we follow with respect to advertising. This policy will also help you recognize the difference between advertising and independent, editorial content on our site. When we speak of “advertising” or “advertisements,” we mean any type or form of advertising, sponsorships, and promotions for which we receive compensation. Please also refer to our Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy for further details. Endorsement of Products and Services: All products or services provided by or advertised by third parties are considered sponsored and not an endorsement by Good Cholesterol Count of the quality and/or services offered by said sponsor. If at any time, Good Cholesterol Count becomes aware of any breach of these guidelines, we reserve the right to remove such advertising, products or services. Good Cholesterol Count will not permit any advertising that seeks to aggrieve the Good Cholesterol Count name or brand. We’ve established guidelines, using clear and consistent language and visual cues, to enable you to distinguish between advertising and editorial content. You will see the following descriptors on our Site for different types of advertising: 1. “Advertisement” is the label used to identify the most common form of advertising on our Site, which is banner advertising. Ads are labeled with the word “Advertisement” in the top or along the right-hand side of the advertisement. Advertisement When you click on an advertisement, it will link to a website that’s operated or promoted by the advertiser. Good Cholesterol Count has no control over the advertiser’s website or the policies on that site. We encourage you to review the terms of use, privacy policies, or other policies applicable to those sites before using them. 2. “Sponsored by” is the label used when an advertiser has paid for association with an article or service. You should know that the content or service is not editorially controlled or influenced by the advertiser. This kind of advertising is clearly identified when the content or service is “Sponsored by” the advertiser. 3. Search results are displayed in response to search queries or keywords entered into the search box within the header of every page. These results are algorithmically generated by Good Cholesterol Count, and advertisers do not influence the order in which these search results are presented on our site. Good Cholesterol Count identifies search based advertising in the following manner: Advertisement Any paid advertising listings posted on search results or other pages of our site will be labeled “Ads by Google.” For detailed information about how Google sorts these listings, go to their website at http://adwords.google.com/ Personalization of Advertising: Good Cholesterol Count provides its users with offers determined by such factors as health condition, symptoms, and product usage. These factors are ascertained through a question-and answer-segment present within the Site. Our goal is to attempt to show our users offers that may be useful not only to themselves, but also to members within their household and people they care for. If at any time, a user of the Site is presented an offer that does not fit their specific taste or relevance, Good Cholesterol Count offers numerous opportunities to abandon said offer and move onto a more congruous area of the Site, or the user may opt-out of receiving such offers as described in our Privacy Policy. Good Cholesterol Count cares about the relevance of member-tailored offers and prohibits any offers that, as determined by Good Cholesterol Count at its sole discretion, are fraudulent, deceptive, offensive, or not in good taste.
