Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Our Commitment to Transparency

Quartile believes in being straightforward about how this website is funded and what relationships, if any, exist between us and the products or services we mention. This disclosure is intended to give you a complete, honest picture of any commercial relationships that may influence content on this site.

This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and similar transparency regulations applicable in other jurisdictions.

Affiliate Relationships

From time to time, Quartile may participate in affiliate programs. This means that if you click on certain links and subsequently make a purchase or sign up for a service, Quartile may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

  • Commission-based links will be marked clearly where feasible, and affiliate relationships will be disclosed in relevant content.

  • Product recommendations reflect our genuine assessment of usefulness for small business accounting needs. Financial incentives do not override editorial judgment.

  • Affiliate relationships exist with accounting software providers, financial tools, and business service platforms relevant to our audience.

Sponsored Content

Any content on this site that has been created in partnership with or funded by a third party will be clearly identified as sponsored. Quartile maintains editorial control over all content, including sponsored materials.

  • Sponsored content will be labeled clearly — for example, "Sponsored," "In partnership with," or "Paid content."

  • Brand partnership agreements require that all claims made in sponsored content be accurate and verifiable.

  • Quartile does not accept sponsored content from companies whose products or practices we would not recommend on their own merits.

Third-Party Advertising

This site may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your browsing history and interests.

  • Third-party ad networks collect data through advertising cookies — see our Cookie Policy for details and controls.

  • Behavioral targeting may be used to show you advertisements relevant to your interests based on previous browsing activity.

  • Ad personalization is subject to your consent choices — you may opt out through your cookie preferences at any time.

Your Rights and Controls

  • Ad preferences — visit our Cookie Policy page to manage advertising cookie settings and opt out of personalized ads.

  • Opt-out — you may opt out of interest-based advertising through your browser settings or via industry opt-out tools such as the Network Advertising Initiative.

  • Data rights — under applicable privacy regulations, you have the right to know what advertising data has been collected about you and to request its deletion. Submit requests via our contact page.

  • No sale of data — Quartile does not sell your personal data to advertisers or other third parties. We act as a data controller and engage advertising platforms under data processing agreements.
