Advertising Policy | EVZapster

At EVZapster.com, our mission is to be the EV Ownership Authority Hub — delivering transparent, neutral, and data‑driven calculators, insights, and reports. To keep the platform free and accessible, we display advertising. This Advertising Policy explains how ads are served, how we choose partners, and how we separate ads from content.

Commitment to Transparency

Advertising helps support development of calculators, reports, and community‑sourced datasets. We follow Google, FTC (United States), CMA (United Kingdom), and industry guidelines to ensure ads are clearly identified and never disguised as editorial content. Ads are never allowed to bias or influence results in our calculators, tools, or insights.

Types of Advertising on EVZapster

Programmatic Ads (Google AdSense)

Displayed across site pages in banners, in‑content placements, and sidebars. Ads are automatically selected based on relevance, consent, and eligibility. All AdSense ads include user consent controls (cookie banner).

Affiliate Links

Some calculators and blog content include links to third‑party products or services (chargers, energy providers, leasing, insurance). These links may generate a commission at no cost to you. Disclosed clearly and coded with rel="sponsored" for compliance with SEO best practices.

Sponsorships & Partnerships

In the future, EVZapster may offer newsletter sponsorships or branded research partnerships (e.g., industry surveys, Battery Hub dataset reports). All sponsored content will be explicitly marked and separated from editorial tools or data outputs.

Separation of Ads & Content

• Ads are always placed in locations where they do not confuse or interfere with calculator results.
• Calculators, datasets, and AI insights are 100% independent of advertising or affiliate arrangements.
• Editorial decisions (such as which tools to build or datasets to publish) are never influenced by advertisers.

User Controls & Consent

You can control ad personalization via cookie consent settings shown on EVZapster. If you use an ad blocker:

• You may see a fallback message inviting you to support EVZapster in other ways (newsletter subscription, sharing tools, feedback).
• Ads respect user privacy (GDPR & CCPA compliant) — no personally identifiable data is ever stored or sold by EVZapster.

Unacceptable Advertising

We will not accept ads that:

• Promote misleading or deceptive EV products.
• Contain offensive, harmful, or discriminatory content.
• Misrepresent pricing or financing in ways that conflict with our neutral, data‑driven promise.
• Attempt to manipulate calculator outputs or editorial independence.

Why Advertising Matters

Advertising revenue funds free public calculators (cost, emissions, range, depreciation, battery health), research initiatives like the Battery Hub, and ongoing improvements. It helps EVZapster remain independent, authoritative, and not paywalled.
