Advertising & Sponsorship Disclosure

Arab Times UAE carries advertising. This page explains what that means for what you read.

What we accept

• Display advertising — banner and in-article advertising, sold on placement and audience.
• Sponsored content — articles paid for by a commercial partner, published only with a clear label.
• Affiliate links — links on which we may earn a commission if you buy or sign up, disclosed on the article.

How commercial content is labelled

Any article that a third party has paid for, in whole or in part, carries the word "Sponsored" or "Paid partnership" prominently at the top of the article, before the body text. Affiliate content carries a disclosure stating that we may earn a commission. These labels are never hidden at the foot of a page or written in a way designed to be missed.

Sponsored content does not carry a journalist's byline as though it were our reporting.

What we do not accept

• Payment to publish, alter, delay or remove a news article. Requests of this kind are refused.
• Advertising presented as news. Commercial material that is designed to be mistaken for our journalism is rejected regardless of what it pays.
• Advertising for illegal services, visa or job scams, unlicensed financial products or lending, gambling where it is unlawful for our readers, adult content, or products making unverifiable medical claims.
• Advertiser approval over editorial. No advertiser is shown an article before publication or given any right of review.

Because our readers include jobseekers and migrant workers, we apply particular scrutiny to recruitment, visa-consultancy, immigration-advice and money-transfer advertising, and we reject advertisers we cannot verify.

Third-party advertising technology
