Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: November 18, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Core Dynamics, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising practices and financial relationships. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various partnerships and advertising programs while maintaining our commitment to providing valuable, unbiased information to our users.
We comply with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. This disclosure is provided to inform you of our advertising relationships and ensure you can make informed decisions when interacting with content on our website.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
Affiliate Program Participation
Core Dynamics participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may receive compensation when you click on certain links or make purchases through our website. These affiliate relationships help support our operations and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.
How Affiliate Programs Work:
- We may include affiliate links to products, services, or tools we reference
- When you click these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission
- The price you pay remains the same whether or not you use our affiliate link
- Commissions vary depending on the affiliate program and product category
Commission-Based Link Explanations
When we include links to external products or services, some of these may be commission-based affiliate links. We clearly identify affiliate relationships where practical and maintain editorial independence in our content creation. Our recommendations are based on our professional assessment and experience, not solely on commission potential.
Product Recommendation Policies
Our product recommendations follow these principles:
- Honest Assessment: We only recommend products and services we believe provide genuine value to our audience
- Professional Experience: Recommendations are based on our technical expertise and industry knowledge
- User Needs First: We prioritize what benefits our users over commission potential
- Disclosure: We clearly identify when content includes affiliate relationships
- No Misrepresentation: We do not exaggerate benefits or hide limitations of recommended products
Financial Relationship Transparency
We maintain transparency about our financial relationships. When we have a financial interest in a product or service we discuss, we disclose this relationship. This includes affiliate commissions, referral fees, partnerships, or any other form of compensation that could influence our content.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Identification of Paid Content
Any content that is sponsored, paid for, or otherwise compensated by third parties will be clearly identified as such. We use labels such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or similar designations to ensure transparency.

Sponsored Post Labeling Policies
Our labeling standards include:
- Clear identification at the beginning of sponsored content
- Visible disclosure that does not require scrolling to see
- Use of clear, unambiguous language
- Consistent formatting across all sponsored content

Brand Partnership Disclosures
We occasionally partner with brands and companies for various promotional activities. These partnerships may include product reviews, case studies, technical demonstrations, or educational content. All such partnerships are disclosed, and we maintain editorial control over the content we produce.
Content Authenticity Guarantees
We guarantee the following regarding our content:
- Opinions expressed are our own, regardless of sponsorship
- Technical assessments are based on our professional expertise
- We do not allow sponsors to dictate our conclusions or recommendations
- We reserve the right to decline partnerships that conflict with our values
