What Are Affiliate Relationships?

An affiliate relationship exists when we earn a commission or fee if you purchase products or services through links on our website. These relationships allow us to recommend tools, software, or services that we believe may benefit game developers while earning a small percentage of any resulting sales.

Our Affiliate Practices

We may participate in affiliate programs for game development tools, software platforms, or related services. When we include affiliate links on our website:

• We clearly identify affiliate links where practical
• We only recommend products or services we genuinely believe have value
• Our opinions remain our own and are not influenced by potential commissions
• We provide honest assessments even when affiliate relationships exist
• The price you pay is never affected by our affiliate relationship

Commission Structure

When you purchase through an affiliate link, we may receive a commission ranging from a small percentage to a fixed amount, depending on the specific program. This commission comes from the seller, not from you, and does not increase the price you pay.

Independence of Recommendations

We maintain editorial independence in our recommendations. The existence of an affiliate relationship does not guarantee that we will recommend a product or service. We base our recommendations on quality, usefulness, and relevance to game developers, not on commission rates.

What Is Sponsored Content?

Sponsored content refers to material created in partnership with or funded by a third party. This might include articles, case studies, or other content where we receive compensation for featuring specific products, services, or companies.

Our Sponsored Content Policy

If we publish sponsored content on our website, we will:

• Clearly label all sponsored content as such
• Maintain editorial control over the content
• Only accept sponsorships from brands we respect
• Ensure sponsored content provides genuine value to readers
• Distinguish between sponsored and non-sponsored content
• Maintain our authentic voice even in sponsored materials

Brand Partnerships

We may establish partnerships with game development tool providers, software companies, or other relevant brands. These partnerships might involve:

• Collaborative content creation
• Featured placement in blog posts or resources
• Promotional campaigns or special offers
• Technical demonstrations or reviews

All such partnerships will be disclosed clearly when relevant content is presented.

Display Advertising Networks

We may use third-party advertising networks to display advertisements on our website. These networks serve ads based on your browsing behavior across multiple websites. Common advertising partners might include Google AdSense or similar platforms.

Behavioral Targeting

Some advertisements on our website may be targeted based on your browsing history or interests. This targeting is performed by advertising networks using cookies and similar technologies. Key points about behavioral advertising:

• We do not control which specific ads are displayed by advertising networks
• Advertisers do not have access to your personal information from us
• You can opt out of personalized advertising through browser settings or industry opt-out tools
• Non-personalized ads may still be displayed if you opt out

Ad Placement and Control

While we select our advertising partners carefully, we do not have complete control over which specific advertisements appear on our site at any given time. We prohibit certain categories of advertisements and work to ensure ads meet quality standards, but cannot guarantee the content of every third-party advertisement.

Cookie Usage for Advertising
