Advertising Disclosure

Our commitment to transparency regarding advertising relationships and sponsored content. Last updated: November 5, 2025.

Our Commitment to Transparency

At CoreSystem, we believe in complete transparency with our users regarding our advertising relationships and how we may earn revenue through our platform. This disclosure statement explains our relationship with advertisers, affiliate programs, and sponsored content.

We are committed to providing honest, unbiased information about technical training and programming education. This disclosure helps you understand when content may be influenced by business relationships and ensures you can make informed decisions.

Affiliate Relationships

Affiliate Program Participation

CoreSystem participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions when you:

  • Click on certain links to third-party products or services
  • Purchase recommended software, tools, or educational materials
  • Sign up for services we recommend through affiliate links
  • Enroll in partner training programs or courses

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the merchant. This commission comes at no additional cost to you - you pay the same price you would pay by going directly to the merchant's website.

These affiliate relationships help support CoreSystem's operations and allow us to continue providing quality educational content and training programs.

Product Recommendation Policy

Our product and service recommendations are based on:

  • Direct experience and testing by our instructional team
  • Relevance to system programming and technical education
  • Quality, reliability, and value for students
  • Industry standards and professional development needs

We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe will benefit our students. The presence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our honest assessment of a product's quality or suitability.

Financial Relationship Transparency

We maintain transparency about all financial relationships that may influence our content. When we have an affiliate relationship with a product or service we mention, we will disclose this relationship clearly. Our goal is to ensure you can make informed decisions about any products or services you choose to purchase.

Sponsored Content

Identification of Paid Content

From time to time, CoreSystem may publish sponsored content or paid promotions. All sponsored content will be clearly labeled with one of the following disclosures:

  • "Sponsored Post" or "Sponsored Content"
  • "Paid Promotion" or "Advertisement"
  • "In Partnership With [Brand Name]"
  • Other clear indicators that content is commercially sponsored

Sponsored Post Labeling

We ensure that sponsored content is clearly distinguishable from editorial content. Sponsored posts may appear in blog sections, course listings, or promotional areas of our website. These posts will always include prominent disclosure at the beginning of the content indicating the commercial nature of the material.

Brand Partnership Disclosure

When we enter partnerships with technology companies, educational institutions, or other organizations, we disclose these relationships. Brand partnerships may involve:

  • Joint course development or curriculum collaboration
  • Sponsored events, workshops, or webinars
  • Tool or software integration into our curriculum
  • Co-branded educational materials or resources

Content Authenticity Guarantee

While we may accept sponsored content, we maintain editorial control over all material published on our platform. Sponsored content must meet our quality standards and provide genuine value to our audience. We reserve the right to refuse sponsorship arrangements that conflict with our educational mission or could mislead our students.
