Editorial Policy & Publishing Standards

Cosy Content Limited places a huge commitment to ensuring only the best quality content gets served across all its web properties.

That means fostering a culture of helping online readers by continuously delivering accurate and informative content pieces, time and again.

Our writers strive for accuracy and integrity in their publishing processes, and we are committed to working with a diverse group of writers and editors representing a wide range of ages, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and abilities, all which reflects in our content.

Integrity Promise

We are committed to the quality and trustworthiness of our content and editorial processes. Our team of writers rigorously research and review all content on an ongoing basis to ensure it is up to date, accurate, and puts the needs of our readers first.

Each article features a short author biography at the bottom, which includes the writer’s name, a brief description of their expertise, and a link to more information about the person who contributed to that piece. The date indicates when the piece was published or most recently updated with new information.

Some articles also have a tagline at the end to provide additional information on their categorisation within the overall site structure.

Original illustrations, graphics, images, and videos are created by the writers when possible, although the creative use of stock imagery (i.e. through Canva.com) with a unique twist helps to produce visual assets that represent diverse voices, perspectives, and context.

Fact Checking Processes

We correct any factual errors in a transparent manner and strive to make it easy for our readers to bring errors to our attention.

Our writers and editors investigate claims and verify all information and data gathered for all articles, including news. We consult relevant, diverse, qualified sources to ensure we’re providing proper context and background to the reader.

If you have noticed an issue you would like to bring to our attention, please let us know by emailing corrections@cosycontent.com.

The accuracy of our verified information and news articles is core to every Cosy Content Limited brand. So too is our commitment to accountability to our readers and transparency about our accuracy and corrections practices.

Our rich library of “evergreen” educational service content is routinely updated, reviewed by our professional review boards, and fact-checked to ensure ongoing publication of accurate, complete, relevant, and up-to-date useful information. Following our rigorous and systematic updating and verification process, articles in our content library are date-stamped to indicate to readers that the information is complete and accurate. News articles often cover a distinct event in time and are not part of our routine update process.

At Cosy Content Limited, we are committed to telling readers when an error has appeared, and to correcting it.

When we discover a significant error of fact, we will correct the article as quickly as possible and append a correction note. All corrections will be clearly labeled, dated, and include information about what was corrected.

We welcome our readers’ participation in our ongoing commitment to accuracy and fact-checking. If you believe we have published a factual error in any of our content, please let us know and we will investigate and take appropriate corrective and/or updating measures. You can report a possible error by emailing corrections@cosycontent.com.

Sourcing

Our writers and editors adhere to strict journalistic standards for article sourcing. We rely on current and reputable primary sources, such as expert interviews, government organizations, and professional and academic institutions and studies. All data points, facts, and claims are backed up by at least one credible source.

We strongly discourage use of anonymous or unnamed sourcing, as this can erode transparency and reader trust.

In the rare instance where an unnamed source is used, we will disclose to readers the reason behind the anonymity and provide necessary context.

Independence and Impartiality

Cosy Content Limited is committed to independent, impartial and fair publishing. Our editorial content is not influenced by our advertisers. Every article contributor at the company is held accountable to a high standard of honesty and transparency.

More so, in line with our mission to provide useful information that helps people find answers, solve problems, and get inspired, we are dedicated to publishing unbiased, comprehensive reviews of products and services.

Our product and service reviews are wholly independent and based on robust research and product testing. When readers visit “affiliate links” within our content, Cosy Content Limited may receive commissions from purchases, but we never receive any compensation or consideration for the content of our recommendations.

Cosy Content Limited writers and editors are prohibited from giving preferential treatment to any outside resource (company, publication, video, affiliate, website) based on their relationship with the person or company who authors or owns that resource.

All of our writers and editors are responsible for disclosing any potential conflicts of interest—any relationship, financial, or personal, with any source or resource that may compromise their ability to provide fair and impartial information.

As with many publishers, our writers and editors are sometimes provided with complimentary products or services for review purposes.

We are transparent and disclose when any valuable products or services are provided to our editorial teams. Our editorial staff and editorial contributors must not solicit gifts or services for personal purposes.

Originality

Our goal at Cosy Content Limited is to provide original, useful, and unbiased content.

All information must be verified, properly attributed, and may not infringe the copyright or anyone’s intellectual property rights.

Any suggestion of plagiarism is investigated fully and is grounds for dismissal. We expect all content contributors to abide by all applicable laws, standards, and accepted journalistic practices including:
