Funding boundary · Editorial independence
Advertising may help pay for hosting and maintenance, but it does not buy influence over TKB guide conclusions, rankings, corrections or the evidence standards applied to a page.
TKB Gaming may use Google AdSense on suitable editorial pages after the site is approved. Loading the publisher runtime or a consent message does not mean every page carries an advertisement. Ad inventory is introduced deliberately, with manual placement and interactive-product exclusions reviewed separately.
We do not sell disguised editorial coverage. Paid influence cannot convert an unverified claim into a recommendation.
Advertising storage, personalisation and related device access default to denied where consent is required. A Google-certified European consent message handles eligible UK and EEA visits. Visitors can reopen that message from the Privacy & Consent page to withdraw or change a previous choice.
Google may process data under its own policies after a valid choice. TKB’s notice explains the local and submitted data handled directly by this site.
TKB Soundscape remains advertising-free. Interactive command centres, maps, planners, calculators, consent pages and other task-focused interfaces are unsuitable for disruptive inventory and are excluded unless a later reviewed release documents a safe placement.
Ads must not imitate navigation, obscure content, interfere with controls, force accidental clicks or materially degrade mobile use.
Guide subjects are chosen because players need them and TKB has useful experience or evidence to contribute. Advertising revenue does not decide which game is covered, which vehicle is recommended, which strategy wins a comparison or whether a correction is published.
The evidence hierarchy and correction process are defined in the Editorial & Verification Policy and apply whether a page is monetised or not.
Before enabling inventory, we check that the page contains substantial original value, has a clear content purpose, provides working navigation and does not duplicate a large programmatic record estate. We prefer a small number of calm placements over maximum density. Ads must remain visually distinguishable from TKB content.
Questions about advertising, consent or an inappropriate placement can be sent through the Contact page. Reports should include the URL, device, approximate time and a screenshot where possible. Confirmed problems are treated as product defects and corrected through the same protected release process as guide issues.
