Ads Policy

At Donor Conceived Australia (DCA), accessible via https://donorconceivedaustralia.org.au, transparency and integrity are at the heart of everything we do. This Ads Policy explains how advertisements, sponsored content, and affiliate links are managed on our website. Our goal is to maintain trust with our readers and ensure that all advertising aligns with our mission of supporting donor-conceived individuals, families, and the wider community.

Purpose of Advertising

We may display advertisements or sponsored content to help fund the operation and maintenance of our website. These advertisements may appear as banner ads, text links, or sponsored articles. The purpose of including advertising is to support our efforts in providing accurate information, community resources, and advocacy for donor conception awareness in Australia.

However, all advertising featured on Donor Conceived Australia is reviewed to ensure it aligns with our values of honesty, transparency, and ethical communication. We do not promote any content that contradicts our mission or exploits sensitive topics related to fertility, donor conception, or reproductive health.

Sponsored Content and Partnerships

From time to time, we may collaborate with partners, organisations, or sponsors to feature educational or awareness-based content. Any such content will always be clearly marked as “Sponsored,” “Advertisement,” or “Partnership” to maintain transparency with our readers. We only engage with sponsors that share our ethical standards and commitment to supporting the donor conception community.

Sponsored content does not influence our editorial independence. Our articles, opinions, and resources remain unbiased, evidence-based, and created with the goal of supporting donor-conceived people and their families.

Affiliate Links

Some links on our website may be affiliate links. This means that if you click on these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you. These commissions help sustain our website and fund our educational programs. We only recommend services or products that are relevant, ethical, and beneficial to our audience.

Third-Party Advertising

Donor Conceived Australia may use third-party advertising networks such as Google Ads or similar platforms to display relevant ads. These services may use cookies or tracking technologies to show ads based on your interests and browsing activity. You can manage your ad preferences or opt out of personalized advertising through your browser settings or the Google Ads Settings page.

Please note that while we strive to display only appropriate and relevant ads, we do not have full control over the content of third-party advertisements and cannot guarantee their accuracy or claims.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial team operates independently of any advertisers or sponsors. The presence of ads or sponsored content does not affect our commitment to publishing honest, research-based, and advocacy-focused material. All information shared by DCA is developed to educate and empower donor-conceived individuals and families — not to serve commercial interests.

Data Privacy and Cookies

We respect your privacy and comply with Australian privacy laws. While advertisers may use cookies to personalize your ad experience, we do not share your personal data with advertisers without your consent. For more details on how cookies and data collection are handled, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Policy Updates

This Ads Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our advertising practices, partnerships, or legal requirements. Updates will be published on this page with the revised date. Continued use of our website after such updates constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
