Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: January 2, 2026
At Butsuryu-do, we are committed to transparency in all our business practices. This Advertising Disclosure explains our relationships with third parties, how we may earn compensation, and how advertising and sponsored content are handled on our website.
We believe in honest disclosure of our business relationships so you can make informed decisions about the information and recommendations we provide. This policy helps you understand any financial relationships that may exist between us and companies we mention or recommend.
Commitment to Transparency
In accordance with consumer protection standards and ethical business practices, we disclose all material relationships that could reasonably affect the content we produce. Our goal is to maintain your trust while supporting the sustainability of our business through various revenue sources.
Affiliate Relationships
What Are Affiliate Programs?
Affiliate programs allow us to earn commissions when visitors to our website make purchases or sign up for services through our links. These arrangements do not affect the price you pay and help support our operations and content creation.
Our Affiliate Participation
We may participate in affiliate programs with:
- Software providers whose tools we recommend for supply chain management
- Educational platforms offering supply chain and logistics courses
- Business service providers relevant to supply chain operations
- Technology vendors and solution providers in the logistics space
- Professional organizations and industry associations
How Commissions Work
When we include affiliate links:
- We may receive a commission if you make a purchase through our link
- The commission comes from the vendor, not from you as the customer
- You pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the vendor
- These relationships do not influence our objective assessment of products or services
Our Recommendation Policy
We only recommend products, services, or resources that we believe provide genuine value to our clients and audience. Our recommendations are based on professional experience, research, and evaluation. The existence of an affiliate relationship does not guarantee a recommendation, and many products we recommend have no affiliate relationship at all.
Sponsored Content and Partnerships
Sponsored Articles and Content
Occasionally, we may publish sponsored content or articles written in partnership with companies. All sponsored content is clearly labeled as such at the beginning of the article or post. Sponsors do not control our editorial content, and we maintain the right to decline partnerships that do not align with our values or quality standards.
Brand Partnerships
We may form partnerships with brands, service providers, or organizations in the supply chain industry. These partnerships may involve compensation in exchange for featured placement, content creation, or promotional activities. All such partnerships are disclosed within the relevant content.
Case Studies and Client Features
When we feature client case studies or success stories on our website, these are based on actual consulting engagements. Unless otherwise stated, clients do not pay for inclusion in case studies. Client names and details are included only with explicit permission.
Editorial Independence
We maintain editorial independence in all our content. Sponsored relationships do not compromise our commitment to providing accurate, valuable information. We clearly distinguish between sponsored content and editorial content, and we reserve the right to express honest opinions even when compensated relationships exist.
Third-Party Advertising Networks
Display Advertising
Our website may display advertisements from third-party advertising networks. These networks may include:
- Google AdSense or similar display advertising platforms
- Contextual advertising networks relevant to supply chain professionals
- Retargeting and remarketing services
- Professional network advertising platforms
Behavioral Targeting and Personalization
Third-party advertisers and advertising networks may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activity in order to provide targeted advertisements. This is known as behavioral advertising or interest-based advertising. These practices are governed by the privacy policies of the respective advertising networks.
Ad Content Responsibility
While we select advertising partners carefully, we are not responsible for the content of advertisements displayed by third-party networks. We do not endorse products or services advertised through these networks unless we have explicitly stated our recommendation elsewhere on our site.
Your Rights and Controls
Ad Preference Management
You can manage your advertising preferences through your browser settings and by adjusting cookie preferences on our website. Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies, which will limit personalized advertising.
Opt-Out Options
You can opt out of targeted advertising through industry opt-out tools and by adjusting privacy settings in your browser. 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.
Cookie Management

Privacy Rights
You have rights regarding the collection and use of your data for advertising purposes. These rights are detailed in our Privacy Policy and include the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information.
Our Primary Business: Consulting Services
It is important to note that our primary source of revenue is our supply chain consulting services, not advertising or affiliate commissions. Our consulting work is:
- Conducted independently and objectively
- Based on professional expertise and client-specific analysis
- Not influenced by advertising relationships or partnerships
- Governed by professional standards and client agreements
- Focused on delivering measurable value to our clients
When we provide consulting services, we act solely in the best interests of our clients. Any recommendations made during consulting engagements are based on thorough analysis and professional judgment, not on affiliate relationships or advertising partnerships.
Vendor and Technology Relationships
In the course of our consulting work, we may have professional relationships with various technology vendors, software providers, and service companies in the supply chain industry. These relationships may include:
- Implementation partnerships for specific tools or platforms
- Training or certification programs
- Referral arrangements (disclosed when relevant)
- Strategic alliances or technology partnerships
When such relationships exist and are relevant to our recommendations, we disclose them. Our professional responsibility is to recommend solutions that best fit our clients' needs, regardless of any commercial relationships.
