Advertising and affiliate links
This is a translation. The German version is legally binding.
In short
- WinFuture is free for you. We are financed by advertising, affiliate links, contentpass and VG WORT.
- You can recognise advertising by the word “Anzeige” (German for “advertisement”). This applies to ad spaces, to paid articles and even to their preview on the home page.
- Some links are affiliate links. If you buy something through them, we receive a small commission. Your price stays the same.
- As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
- Advertisers have no influence on our reporting.
Contents
1. Ad spaces
- Ad spaces are labelled “Anzeige”.
- The ads are delivered by marketers and ad networks. You can find out which ones in ourprivacy policy.
- Read without ads and without tracking: with contentpass. You conclude the contract for this with Content Pass GmbH.
- Problems with an ad (sound, redirect, malware)? Write to us at sk@
winfuture.de, ideally with a link and a screenshot.
2. Paid articles (advertorials)
- Companies can book articles with us. These articles carry “Anzeige” above or directly below the headline. The preview (teaser) on the home page and overview pages also shows “Anzeige”.
- We do not use only the word “Advertorial” or “Sponsored”. These words are not enough as a label.
- We agree paid articles with the client. Our own reporting on the client remains independent of this.
- Advertising on WinFuture: offers for advertisers.
3. Affiliate links
- We use affiliate links in articles, deals and price comparisons. If you buy from the retailer after a click, the retailer pays us a commission. The price stays the same for you.
- Links to shops in our articles can be affiliate links.
- Articles that we label as paid or partner articles carry “Anzeige”, also in the teaser.
- Whether a retailer offers affiliate links does not affect our assessment. On our deal pages for Amazon and notebooksbilliger.de we show, where possible, the price at the cheapest other shop for comparison.
- Our partners include Amazon and notebooksbilliger.de (via AWIN). The full list is in our privacy policy.
Amazon
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Back to contents4. Prices in deals
- We state final prices including VAT, as given by the retailer.
- Prices and availability change often. The price on the retailer's order page applies.
- “Bestpreis” (best price) means: the lowest price in the WinFuture price comparison at the time stated.
- We remove expired offers or mark them as ended.
5. Competitions
We only run competitions with their own terms of participation, shown directly with the competition. Participation is free.
