<p>We're thrilled to announce that <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AWS</a> will be sponsoring Cross Validated starting on <strong>July 18 through December 31</strong>. We wanted to give you a heads-up and walk you through what that means.</p>
<h2>How and where will the sponsorship be displayed?</h2>
<p>The sponsorship will be found on the right side of the header at the top of the site similar to what you see below.</p>

<h2>What else changes?</h2>
<p>Not a thing! Borrowing from <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/307861/site-sponsorships-bringing-resources-back-to-stack-exchange">the original MSE announcement on sponsorships</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>First — sponsors do not own these Q&amp;A sites. Sponsors work alongside
our communities who ultimately build these sites. Communities ask the
questions; communities create the tags; communities conduct elections
as they do now, and we are not renaming our current sites like a
garish sport stadium to the highest bidder. Any ads a sponsor submits
still have go through our crazy-strict ad editorial process… as it has
always been. Companies do not have access to personal data, and all
Q&amp;A content remains irrevocably licensed under Creative Commons for
sharing and attribution.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Sponsorships are a tool that our clients can use to let folks who could be interested in their products know about them in a non-intrusive way.</p>
<h2>What if I've found a design glitch/bug?</h2>
<p>If something looks off, please report it as a <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/bug">bug</a> so we can investigate and squash it.</p>
<p>That's all. If you have any other questions or concerns, please leave them as answers below.</p>
<p>Lastly, thank you. These types of partnerships help us bring more resources to our communities, and they wouldn't be possible without the work you've put into making Cross Validated successful.</p>
