ADVERTISING DISCLOSURE

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.

Important Note: Sponsored content does not mean we endorse all aspects of the sponsor's products or services. Our editorial standards apply to all content, sponsored or otherwise.

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
  • Disclosure that remains visible on all devices and screen sizes

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
  • We maintain the same quality standards for sponsored and non-sponsored content
