Our Commitment to Transparency
At Ironside, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising and commercial relationships. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may receive compensation when you interact with certain links or content on our website.
We are committed to providing honest, unbiased information to help you make informed decisions. This disclosure is provided in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising.
Affiliate Relationships
We participate in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may receive compensation when you click on certain links or make purchases through our website.
How Affiliate Programs Work
When you click on an affiliate link on our website and make a purchase or take an action, we may receive a commission from the company whose product or service you purchased. This commission comes at no additional cost to you and does not affect the price you pay.
Commission-Based Links
Some links on our website are affiliate links, meaning we earn a commission if you click through and take certain actions, such as making a purchase or signing up for a service. These links help support our business and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.
Product Recommendations
We only recommend products, services, or resources that we believe will provide value to our audience. While we may receive compensation for some recommendations, our primary consideration is always the quality and relevance of the product or service to your needs.
Financial Relationship Transparency
We maintain relationships with various companies in the gaming and technology industries. When we have a financial relationship with a company whose products or services we discuss, we will disclose this relationship. These relationships do not compromise our professional judgment or the integrity of our recommendations.
Please note that not all links on our website are affiliate links. We only use affiliate links for products and services we genuinely recommend and believe will benefit our audience.
Sponsored Content
From time to time, we may publish sponsored content on our website or through our communication channels.
Identification of Sponsored Content
All sponsored content, paid promotions, and advertorials are clearly identified as such. We use clear disclosures such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "Advertisement" to ensure you can easily distinguish sponsored content from our regular editorial content.
Sponsored Post Labeling
When we publish sponsored posts or articles, they are clearly marked at the beginning of the content. These posts are created in collaboration with brands or companies that compensate us for the promotion of their products or services.
Brand Partnership Disclosures
We may enter into partnerships with brands and companies in the gaming industry. These partnerships may involve compensation, free products, or other benefits. When content is influenced by such partnerships, we will clearly disclose this relationship.
Content Authenticity Guarantees
While we may receive compensation for sponsored content, we maintain full editorial control over all content published on our website. Sponsored content reflects our honest assessment and opinion, and sponsors do not dictate the content of our reviews, recommendations, or editorial decisions.
