How advertising and commercial content may appear on Monitoring Money.
Monitoring Money is supported by advertising and may include commercial links. This page explains what types of commercial content may appear on the site, how they are distinguished from editorial content, and how readers can control their ad experience.
Google AdSense and display ad partners
Monitoring Money uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites. Ads served through AdSense are clearly labelled and are separate from editorial content, price data, and buying guidance on the site.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting AboutAds.info. Opting out means you will still see ads, but they will not be personalised based on your browsing behaviour.
Commercial product links and partner placements
Some pages on Monitoring Money may include links to gold dealers, bullion platforms, or marketplaces. These links may be affiliate links, meaning Monitoring Money may receive a commission if a reader makes a purchase through such a link. Any commission is paid by the retailer, not the reader, and does not affect the price the reader pays.
Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial content. Price comparisons, buying guides, and product recommendations are produced independently of any commercial arrangements. Readers should always compare premiums, buyback terms, and dealer reputation independently before making any purchase.
Reference data and editorial content remain separate
- Live gold price data and benchmark figures are sourced from market data providers and are not influenced by advertising partners.
- Country pages, rate pages, and calculator outputs reflect reference market pricing, not dealer-specific quotes or sponsored offers.
- Blog articles, buying guides, and market explainers are written by the Monitoring Money editorial team without input from advertisers.
- Any sponsored content, if published, will be clearly labelled as such and distinguished from editorial material.
How advertising-related cookies work

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings or through the opt-out links above. For full details on how cookies are used on Monitoring Money, see the cookie policy.
