Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: May 2025

Transparency about commercial relationships matters to us. This page describes how Carryover handles advertising, affiliate arrangements, and sponsored content — so you know where financial relationships exist and how they may influence what you read on this site.

We aim to be straightforward about this. If something on this page is unclear, please reach out via the contact page.

1. Affiliate relationships

Carryover may participate in affiliate programs where links to third-party tools, platforms, or services earn a commission if you make a purchase or sign up following a click. Where such links appear, they are clearly indicated or contextually apparent.

  • Commission disclosure: Affiliate links may generate a small referral fee at no additional cost to you.
  • Recommendation independence: We only reference tools or services we consider relevant to the game development context. Commission availability does not change our assessment of a product's fit.
  • Financial transparency: The existence of an affiliate relationship does not mean we endorse every aspect of a third-party product.

At the time of writing, Carryover's affiliate relationships, if any, are limited in scope and focused on tools relevant to the game porting industry.

2. Sponsored content

Sponsored or paid content, where it appears on this site, is clearly identified. We do not publish promotional material as if it were editorial without disclosure.

  • Labeling: Any paid or sponsored material is marked as such — typically with a label such as "Sponsored" or "Paid partnership."
  • Brand partnerships: If we feature another brand's product or service in a paid capacity, we will say so.
  • Content authenticity: Sponsored content reflects our genuine understanding of the subject, even where a fee has been paid for placement.

3. Third-party advertising

This site may use third-party advertising networks to display relevant advertisements. These services may use cookies and tracking technologies to serve ads based on your previous browsing activity.

  • Ad networks: We may work with advertising platforms including Google AdSense or similar services.
  • Behavioral targeting: Ad personalization may occur based on prior browsing activity, subject to your consent preferences.
  • Cookie usage: Advertising cookies are used only when you have consented. See our Cookie Policy for details.
  • Ad personalization: You can opt out of personalized advertising through your cookie preferences or via your browser settings.

4. User rights and controls

You have meaningful control over how advertising data is used in connection with your visit to this site.

  • Ad preference management: Use our Cookie Preferences page to adjust advertising consent.
  • Opt-out: You may opt out of interest-based advertising through your browser settings or via your ad network provider's opt-out tools.
  • Data collection: Advertising-related data collection only occurs where you have granted consent via cookie settings.
  • Regulatory rights: Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR, CCPA, or similar regulations regarding advertising data. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
