Advertising Disclosure

Identifying Sponsored Content

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our platform. Sponsored content is material that has been created or compensated by a third party. We clearly label all sponsored content to ensure you can easily identify it.

Look for clear disclosures such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or similar language at the beginning of sponsored posts or materials. This labeling helps you understand when content has been paid for by an external party.

Sponsored Post Standards

Even when content is sponsored, we maintain editorial standards to ensure it provides value to our audience. We only accept sponsorships from companies whose products or services align with our educational mission and would genuinely interest DevOps learners. Sponsors do not control our editorial decisions, and we reserve the right to decline sponsorship opportunities that do not meet our quality standards.

Brand Partnership Disclosures

We may form partnerships with technology companies, training organizations, or other businesses in the DevOps space. These partnerships might involve financial compensation, free products or services, or other considerations. When such relationships influence the content we create or share, we will disclose these partnerships clearly.

Content Authenticity Guarantee

Regardless of sponsorship or financial relationships, all opinions expressed on our platform remain our own. We commit to providing honest assessments and maintaining the integrity of our educational content. Our primary goal is to serve the needs of DevOps learners, and this guides all our content decisions.

Managing Ad Preferences

You have control over the types of advertisements you see. Most advertising networks provide tools to manage your ad preferences and opt out of personalized advertising. You can typically access these controls through the privacy settings of the advertising networks we use or through industry opt-out tools.

Opt-Out Procedures

If you prefer not to receive personalized advertisements, you have several options:

• Adjust your cookie preferences on our website through our Cookie Policy page
• Use your browser settings to block or limit third-party cookies
• Visit advertising network opt-out pages to control personalized advertising
• Enable "Do Not Track" settings in your browser, though not all services honor these requests

Please note that opting out of personalized advertising does not mean you will see fewer ads, but the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

Data Collection for Advertising

Advertising networks may collect various types of information to personalize ads, including your IP address, device type, browser type, pages visited, and interaction with advertisements.
