Editorial Standards
Our commitments on accuracy, independence, and transparency.
Corrections Policy
Because Cowlpane summaries are generated by an AI pipeline, factual errors can occur. When a material factual error is identified in a summary — whether by a reader or internally — the affected article will be corrected or removed within 24 hours. Corrections are noted at the top of the article with the date of the change. We do not silently delete or alter articles without notation.
To report an error, use the contact details in our Impressum. Please include the article URL and the specific claim you believe to be incorrect, along with a source if possible.
Conflict-of-Interest Disclosures
Cowlpane earns revenue from affiliate links and sponsored partner placements. Sponsored content is always clearly labelled "Sponsored" both in the Partner Spotlight section and on individual partner cards. Affiliate links to brokers and financial products are disclosed in the footer of every page.
Sponsored placement does not influence editorial story selection or summary content. The AI pipeline that selects and summarises articles has no awareness of commercial relationships.
No-Pay-for-Play Policy
Editorial coverage on Cowlpane — meaning which stories are summarised and how they are presented — is not for sale. No company, individual, or partner can pay to have a story included, excluded, favourably framed, or ranked higher in any section. The pipeline selects stories based solely on source feed inclusion, publication time, and clustering logic described in our Methodology page.
AI Disclosure
All article summaries published on Cowlpane are generated by an AI language model. No human editor reviews summaries before publication. Cowlpane is a technology-driven aggregator, not a traditional editorial outlet. We are transparent about this on our Methodology page and in the footer of every article.
Google News Eligibility
Cowlpane is working toward compliance with Google News Publisher guidelines, including clear authorship attribution, transparent AI-generation disclosure, and a published corrections policy. These standards pages form part of that process.
