Advertising Disclosure

At Coincraft, we believe in complete transparency with our visitors and clients. This Advertising Disclosure explains our relationships with third parties, how we may earn revenue through advertising and affiliate partnerships, and how these relationships might influence the content on our website.

Last updated: December 10, 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

We are committed to maintaining the trust you place in us. This disclosure is designed to ensure you understand when content on our website may be influenced by advertising relationships or when we may receive compensation for recommendations or referrals. We strive to provide honest, unbiased information while being transparent about any financial relationships that could influence our content.

Affiliate Relationships

What Are Affiliate Partnerships?

An affiliate partnership is a relationship where we may receive a commission or other compensation when you click on certain links or make purchases through those links. These partnerships help support the operation of our website and the services we provide, allowing us to continue offering valuable content and expertise to our visitors.

How We Participate in Affiliate Programs

Coincraft may participate in various affiliate programs related to:

• Game development tools, software, and platforms
• Audio equipment and sound design resources
• Educational courses and training materials for game developers
• Hardware and technical equipment used in arcade game development
• Professional services and consulting tools

Our Recommendation Policy

When we recommend products or services, whether through affiliate links or otherwise:

• We only recommend products or services we genuinely believe have value for our audience
• Our recommendations are based on our professional experience and expertise
• We will not compromise our integrity for financial gain
• We clearly disclose when a link is an affiliate link or when we may receive compensation
• Your trust is more important to us than any commission we might earn

Financial Transparency

When you use an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is not affected by whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant's website. We receive compensation from the merchant for referring business to them, which helps support our ongoing operations.

Sponsored Content

Identifying Sponsored Content

From time to time, we may create content that is sponsored by or created in partnership with third parties. Any sponsored content will be clearly identified with labels such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "In collaboration with," or similar disclosures. We maintain editorial control over sponsored content and ensure it aligns with our standards and values.

Sponsored Content Guidelines

When we create sponsored content:

• We clearly disclose the sponsored nature of the content at the beginning
• We maintain editorial independence and do not allow sponsors to dictate our opinions
• We only partner with brands and companies that align with our values
• The content must provide genuine value to our audience
• We ensure accuracy and honesty in all sponsored communications

Brand Partnerships

We may enter into partnerships with brands for various purposes, including but not limited to product reviews, case studies, collaborative projects, or promotional campaigns. These partnerships are always disclosed, and we maintain the right to provide honest opinions and assessments regardless of the partnership status.
