Ownership, Funding, and Advertising Policy

Cyclinguptodate.com is owned and operated by online publisher Assendelft Media B.V. in Assendelft, the Netherlands.

Assendelft Media B.V. which is based near Amsterdam oversees the operation of Cyclinguptodate.com across all platforms on which it appears: Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and a number of other social media and news platforms. That said, Assendelft Media B.V. does not influence or otherwise dictate the opinions of the editorial teams nor interfere with site objectives, voice, or topic selection.

Programmatic advertising platforms fund the majority of website operations, editorial salaries, and content payouts; still, the Cyclinguptodate.com editorial staff, writers, and content team operate independent of Assendelft Media’s team. The two do not interact nor influence each other’s work. Representation of all viewpoints, perspectives, and writers of all backgrounds are strongly encouraged by the editing managers - ensuring that objectivity and accuracy of our content is never restricted by any writer, editor, partner, or business division.

While we strive to provide readers with a great ad experience, advertisements may not necessarily reflect the views of Cyclinguptodate.com or Assendelft Media B.V.

On rare occasions, partnerships, direct sales campaigns, and sponsorships are negotiated by our ads team or content team. Sponsored articles are clearly identified with a disclosure statement identifying the post accordingly. Similarly, select articles also include affiliate links for which Assendelft Media B.V. receives a commission on purchased items. Articles that include affiliate links also contain a statement disclosing an affiliate partnership.

The Cyclinguptodate.com editorial team leverages relationships with networks and other partners for the purpose of exclusive interviews, review product, and other opportunities that help us create informed and accurate content. We are not paid for this content. To ensure that access does not influence editorial objectivity, we abide by a thorough ethics policy that all writers, editors, and contributors must follow.
