Advertising Disclosure

Affiliate Program Participation

CodeCraft Academy participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links on our website and make purchases from partner companies. These affiliate relationships help support our operations and allow us to continue providing free educational resources.

When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the company pays us a commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains the same whether or not you use our affiliate link.

Commission-Based Links

Our website may contain affiliate links to products, services, and tools that we believe may be beneficial to aspiring developers. These may include:

• • Software development tools and platforms
• • Educational resources, books, and online courses
• • Web hosting services and domain registrars
• • Computer hardware and accessories
• • Professional development resources and career services

Not all links on our website are affiliate links. We clearly distinguish between affiliate and non-affiliate content where appropriate.

Financial Relationship Transparency

We commit to transparent disclosure of all financial relationships. When we recommend a product or service through an affiliate link, we will clearly indicate this relationship. The presence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our honest assessment of the product's value or suitability for our audience.

Paid Promotions and Partnerships

Occasionally, we may publish sponsored content or partner with brands that compensate us for featuring their products or services. This sponsored content helps support our educational mission and allows us to offer free resources to our community.

All sponsored content is clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or similar designation. We maintain editorial control over all content on our website, including sponsored material, to ensure it aligns with our educational standards and provides value to our audience.

Sponsored Post Labeling

When content is sponsored or influenced by a paid partnership, we clearly identify it using one or more of the following methods:

• • Prominent disclosure at the beginning of the article or content piece
• • Visual indicators such as "Sponsored" badges or labels
• • Clear statements about the commercial relationship
• • Disclosure in metadata and social media promotion of the content

Content Authenticity Guarantee

While we may receive compensation for sponsored content, we guarantee that our opinions and recommendations remain honest and unbiased. We will never promote products or services that we believe are harmful, misleading, or not genuinely valuable to our audience. If our opinion about a sponsored product changes, we will update or remove the content accordingly.
