Advertisement Policy – Seithithalam
Introduction
Seithithalam is an online news platform that displays advertisements to support the operation, maintenance, and growth of our services. Advertisements may be delivered directly by us or through authorized third-party partners. We are committed to showing ads responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with all applicable laws and digital publishing standards.
Purpose of Advertisements
The primary purpose of advertisements on Seithithalam is to help sustain our free news service, improve user experience, and present relevant commercial information based on user interests and platform activity. Advertisements allow us to continue providing up-to-date Tamil news, enhance platform functionalities, and support content creation without charging users for access.
Types of Advertisements Shown
Seithithalam may display various forms of ads including banner ads, image ads, video advertisements, contextual ads, sponsored articles, and programmatic advertisements delivered through certified ad networks. These advertisements are selected based on page context, platform performance, and user experience standards. Misleading or harmful ads are strictly not permitted.
Data Collected for Advertising
To improve ad relevance and measure performance, our authorized partners may collect non-personal technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location, pages visited, and interactions with displayed ads. This information helps optimize ads and identify user interests. We do not share personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers with advertisers.
Third-Party Advertising Partners
Seithithalam works with trusted advertising networks and technology partners, including Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager, and other programmatic ad providers. These partners may use cookies and tracking tools to deliver, personalize, and measure advertisements. All partners are required to comply with global advertising guidelines, consumer protection laws, and data privacy regulations.
User Control and Ad Preferences
Users have complete control over the personalization of ads displayed on our platform. You may adjust your browser settings to disable cookies, activate “Do Not Track,” manage Google Ad Preferences, or request non-personalized ads. Even after opting out of personalized ads, general advertisements may still appear to support the platform.
Advertisement Safety Standards
Seithithalam maintains strict control over the type of advertisements allowed. We do not display ads that contain harmful, adult, violent, discriminatory, misleading, or illegal content. Any advertisement that violates platform or legal standards will be removed immediately. Our partners are required to follow strict safety, quality, and compliance guidelines.
Sponsored Content Policy
From time to time, Seithithalam may publish sponsored articles, brand partnerships, or affiliate-based content. Such material will always be clearly labeled as “Sponsored,” “Advertisement,” or “Partner Content” for full transparency. Paid editorial influence does not affect our journalistic integrity.
Advertising and Children
Seithithalam does not knowingly display personalized advertisements to children. Any ads served to minors are automatically restricted under global child-safety advertising standards and applicable law.
Cookie Usage for Advertisements
Cookies may be used to remember user preferences, improve site performance, and deliver relevant advertising. Advertising cookies help track ad performance, prevent fraud, and customize displayed content. Users may disable cookies at any time through their browser settings; however, certain site features may not function optimally.
Ad-Related Data Usage
All advertising data collected is used solely for purposes such as improving ad relevance, analyzing ad performance, preventing fraudulent activity, and enhancing the stability of our services. Personal identity information is never sold or traded. Only aggregated or anonymous data may be shared with partners for operational needs.
User Rights and Data Requests
Users may request details regarding how their data is used for advertising, seek the deletion of advertising cookies, opt out of personalized ads, or contact us for clarification regarding our advertisement practices. We are committed to ensuring transparency, fairness, and user control in all aspects of advertising.
Policy Changes
Seithithalam may update this Advertisement Policy periodically. Any changes will be published on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the platform after updates signifies acceptance of the modified policy.
