Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: June 5, 2025
Neon Anvil is committed to transparency about how this website is funded and how we present information to visitors. This page explains our relationships with advertisers and partners, and what that means for the content you see. We operate in accordance with FTC guidelines on endorsements and advertising disclosures.
Affiliate relationships
Some links on this website may be affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase or take an action, Neon Anvil may receive a commission or other form of compensation — at no additional cost to you.
- – Program participation: We may participate in affiliate programs operated by third-party companies. Participation in such programs does not imply endorsement of those companies beyond what is explicitly stated.
- – Commission-based links: Where affiliate links appear, they are used to fund the operation of this site. The presence of an affiliate link does not affect the honesty or independence of our editorial content.
- – Product recommendations: We only link to tools, products, or services we believe are genuinely relevant or useful. Financial relationships do not determine whether something is recommended — merit does.
- – Financial transparency: Any material financial relationship that influences content will be disclosed clearly near the relevant content.
Sponsored content
From time to time, Neon Anvil may publish or host content that has been produced in connection with a paid relationship with a third party. Where this is the case:
- – Identification: Sponsored or paid content will be clearly labeled as such at or near the top of the relevant page or section.
- – Brand partnerships: Where we work with a brand or sponsor, the relationship will be disclosed. Sponsorship does not grant the sponsoring party editorial control over the content.
- – Content authenticity: Our perspective and voice remain our own. We don't publish content we don't stand behind, regardless of whether it involves a financial relationship.
Third-party advertising
This website may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver ads relevant to your interests.
- – Display advertising: Ads may be served by networks such as Google Ads. The content of these ads is determined by the advertising network, not by Neon Anvil.
- – Behavioral targeting: Advertising networks may use data about your browsing behavior to serve ads that match your inferred interests. This is sometimes called "interest-based advertising."
- – Cookie usage: Ad-related cookies are only set if you have consented to advertising cookies via our cookie preferences panel. See our Cookie Policy for details.
- – Ad personalization: You can opt out of personalized advertising through your cookie settings or via your Google account's ad personalization settings.
Your rights and controls
You have meaningful control over how advertising data is used in connection with your visit to this site:
- – Ad preference management: You can adjust or withdraw your advertising cookie consent at any time via our Cookie Policy page.
- – Opt-out procedures: You can opt out of interest-based advertising through tools such as the NAI opt-out tool or Google's My Ad Center.
- – Data rights: Under applicable privacy law (including GDPR where relevant), you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data collected for advertising purposes. See our Privacy Policy for details.
- – No pressure: Advertising does not affect your access to content on this site. You are free to browse without accepting advertising cookies.
