Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: January 17, 2025
At Foxfire Pixel, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising and business relationships. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn income through various advertising and partnership arrangements, and how these relationships might influence the content on our website.
We are committed to maintaining trust with our visitors and clients. This disclosure ensures you understand any potential financial relationships that could affect how we present information, products, or services on our platform.
Affiliate Relationships
Affiliate Program Participation
Foxfire Pixel may participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links and make purchases through those links. These affiliate relationships allow us to earn income while providing you with information about products and services we believe may be valuable.
Affiliate links may be present in our content, blog posts, resource recommendations, or tool suggestions. When you use these links to make a purchase, we receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Commission-Based Recommendations
Some of the products, services, or tools we recommend on our website may include affiliate links that generate commission income for us. This includes:
- • Game development tools and software
- • Asset marketplaces and resource libraries
- • Educational courses and training materials
- • Hosting services and technical platforms
- • Business services relevant to game development
While we may earn commissions from these recommendations, we only recommend products and services we genuinely believe offer value. Our recommendations are based on our professional experience and assessment of quality.
Product Recommendation Policy
Our product recommendations follow these principles:
- • We recommend products and services we have personally used or thoroughly researched
- • We prioritize value and quality over commission rates
- • We clearly disclose when links may result in commission earnings
- • We provide honest assessments, including both advantages and limitations
- • We never recommend products solely for financial gain
Financial Relationship Transparency
We maintain transparency about our financial relationships. When we have an affiliate relationship with a product or service we mention, we will disclose this relationship. Our opinions and recommendations remain independent and are not influenced by the potential for earning commissions. We only partner with companies whose products and services align with our values and standards.
Sponsored Content
Identification of Paid Content
From time to time, Foxfire Pixel may publish sponsored content, paid reviews, or promotional materials created in partnership with brands, companies, or service providers. All sponsored content will be clearly identified as such using labels such as:
- • "Sponsored Post" or "Sponsored Content"
- • "Paid Partnership" or "Paid Promotion"
- • "Advertisement" or "Ad"
- • "In collaboration with [Brand Name]"
We ensure that sponsored content is clearly distinguished from our regular editorial content so you can easily identify when material has been created in exchange for compensation.
Sponsored Post Labeling
When we create sponsored content:
- • Clear disclosure appears at the beginning of the content
- • Sponsorship relationships are explicitly stated
- • We maintain editorial independence in our assessments
- • We only partner with brands relevant to our audience
- • Our honest opinions are preserved regardless of compensation
Brand Partnership Disclosure
We may enter into partnerships with brands and companies in the game development industry. These partnerships might involve compensation in the form of payment, free products, services, or other benefits. All such arrangements will be disclosed when they influence the content we create. We maintain the right to provide honest feedback and assessments even in sponsored relationships.
Content Authenticity Guarantee
Even in sponsored content, we maintain our commitment to authenticity and honesty. We will not publish content that misrepresents products, services, or our genuine opinions. If we cannot honestly endorse something, we will not promote it, regardless of financial incentives. Our reputation and your trust are more valuable than any single sponsorship opportunity.
