1. Overview

Shimokitan will participate in affiliate programs with third-party platforms once they are implemented. When active, some links on our site will be "affiliate links."

2. Planned Affiliate Partners

We plan to participate in affiliate programs with:

• Crunchyroll - Anime streaming subscriptions
• Apple Music - Music streaming subscriptions and purchases

This disclosure will be updated when affiliate links go live.

3. How Affiliate Links Work

Affiliate links contain tracking parameters that allow the merchant to attribute a referral to Shimokitan. These tracking parameters may result in the merchant setting cookies on your device.

4. Editorial Independence

Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions. Our curation, editorial commentary, and archival decisions are independent of any affiliate partnership.

5. Identifying Affiliate Links

Pages or sections of the site that contain affiliate links will be identified with a visible indicator, such as a "Partner Link" label.
