Name the relationship
Say plainly whether affiliate links appear on the site and where.
Overview
Why disclosure matters
If KTP monetizes through affiliate relationships, that should be disclosed clearly without muddying the editorial standards of the site.
Plain-language summary
How monetization stays visible.
Disclosure should explain where affiliate relationships may exist, how they stay separate from editorial decisions, and where readers can raise a concern.
Policy page
Put monetization clarity ahead of persuasion.
Disclosure pages only work when they are explicit. The reader should understand if affiliate relationships exist and how those relationships stay separate from editorial decisions.
Editorial stays independent
The disclosure should reinforce that recommendations are not purchased by affiliate programs.
Give readers a route to ask
Readers should know where to send questions about monetization and disclosure.
Where affiliate relationships may appear
This section defines the practical scope of the policy before the full legal prose takes over.
How editorial judgment stays separate
The reader should be able to identify what the site does, does not, and cannot promise.
How readers can challenge the disclosure
If the answer is still unclear after reading the policy, the page should send the reader to a real human route instead of a dead end.
