Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: December 18, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Buttonmash, we believe in maintaining transparent relationships with our visitors and clients. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we approach advertising, sponsored content, and financial relationships that may influence the content on our website. We're committed to providing honest information about any business relationships that could affect the content we present.
Affiliate Relationships
Affiliate Program Participation
From time to time, we may participate in affiliate marketing programs. This means that if we recommend a product, service, or tool and you make a purchase through a link on our website, we may receive a commission. These affiliate relationships help support our business operations and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.
How Affiliate Links Work
When we include affiliate links on our website:
- We earn a small commission if you make a purchase through our link
- The price you pay is not affected by our affiliate relationship
- We clearly identify affiliate links when they appear
- Our recommendations are based on genuine assessment, not solely on commission potential
Product Recommendations
We only recommend products, services, or tools that we believe could genuinely benefit our audience. While we may receive compensation through affiliate relationships, this does not influence whether we choose to recommend something. We prioritize quality and relevance over commission rates. If we wouldn't use or recommend something to a colleague, we won't recommend it to you, regardless of potential earnings.
Sponsored Content
Identification of Sponsored Posts
Any content that has been sponsored or paid for by a third party will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or with similar transparent language. We believe you have the right to know when content has been influenced by financial relationships.
Editorial Independence
Even in sponsored content, we maintain editorial control and ensure that all information presented is accurate and valuable. Sponsors do not dictate our opinions or editorial decisions. We reserve the right to decline sponsored content opportunities that don't align with our values or serve our audience's interests.
Brand Partnerships
We may enter into partnerships with brands that align with our focus on arcade game development. These partnerships might involve joint projects, sponsored features, or collaborative content. Any such partnerships will be disclosed clearly to our audience.
Third-Party Advertising
Display Advertising Networks
We may use third-party advertising networks to display advertisements on our website. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing behavior to provide personalized advertising. The use of such technologies is subject to the privacy policies of these third-party networks.
Behavioral Targeting
Some advertisements on our website may be personalized based on your browsing history and interests. This is known as behavioral or interest-based advertising. These targeted ads are delivered by third-party advertising partners and are designed to show you content more relevant to your interests.
Cookie Usage for Advertising
Advertising partners may use cookies to:
- Track which ads you've seen and how you interact with them
- Prevent you from seeing the same ad too frequently
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns

Opt-Out Procedures
If you wish to opt out of personalized advertising, you can adjust your settings in your browser to block third-party cookies. Note that opting out of personalized ads doesn't mean you'll see fewer ads overall; it means the ads you see will be less tailored to your interests.
Data Collection for Advertising

This information is used to measure ad effectiveness and deliver relevant advertising.

- Possible sponsored content or brand partnerships when appropriate
- Advertising revenue from third-party networks if applicable
Content Authenticity
Regardless of any financial relationships, we are committed to providing accurate, helpful, and authentic content. Our professional reputation depends on maintaining the trust of our visitors and clients. We do not allow financial considerations to compromise the quality or honesty of the information we provide. If we have experience with a product or service we recommend, we'll share that perspective honestly.
