Affiliate Disclosure

Effective date: 15 October 2026

Paleflux costs money to write and to host, and nobody pays to read it. The money comes from affiliate commission, and this page explains the arrangement in enough detail that you can judge the course with it in mind. East trading company s.r.o. publishes the site and receives the commission.

Exactly where the paid links appear

There are two of them in the whole course, and both point to the website of War Thunder, the game used as this course's worked example.

• One in Step 1, in the section describing the example title, inviting you to read the publisher's own description and requirements.
• One in Step 3, in the section about registration, where seeing a real sign-up page on a publisher's own domain is useful.

Both carry a note directly beside them saying what they are. Neither is disguised as a button, a recommendation or a verdict. There are no paid links anywhere else on this site: not in Step 2, Step 4 or Step 5, not on the checklists page, not in the navigation, and not in the footer. Links to Australian government bodies are ordinary links and earn us nothing.

What actually happens when you follow one

The link goes straight to the destination. We do not route you through a counter, a tracking page or an intermediate address of our own, and the address you will see in your browser's status bar is the address you will arrive at. The affiliate network that operates the link records that the visit came from us.

If you then create an account on that site, the network credits East trading company s.r.o. with a commission. The payment is made by the network, out of the game publisher's marketing budget. It is not added to anything you pay: you are charged exactly what you would have been charged had you typed the address into your browser yourself, and reaching the site through our link gives us no special status with the publisher and gives you none either.

We receive reports from the network showing how many such sign-ups occurred and what is owed. Those reports are used only to check that the payment is correct. We do not ask for, and do not want, anything in them that would identify an individual reader. The Privacy Policy sets out what happens to information on this side, and the Cookie Policy explains that any cookie involved is set on the destination's domain, not ours.

What the commission does not decide

It does not decide what the course says. The five steps are a sequence of tasks — understand the category, measure your machine, secure an account, install and configure, then set rules about time and money — and that sequence would be identical if no link on this site earned anything. Several parts of the course cut against a commercial interest: Step 2 is designed to tell some readers to stop before installing anything, Step 5 is largely about not spending money, and the homepage says outright that you can finish everything here without following either link. Those passages stay.

It does not make this a review. We have not tested the game, we hold no measurements of our own, and we say nothing about whether it is good, better or best. We publish no ratings, no scores, no benchmarks and no awards. Where we describe the title at all, we use only what the material supplied to us states, and where that material is silent we say that it is silent rather than filling in the gap.

It does not buy editorial influence. No game publisher, network or advertiser reviews this course before it is published, approves wording, or has any right to ask for a change. Nobody has paid for a sentence, a heading or a position in a list. We do not accept guest posts, sponsored articles or link placements, and we do not sell links to anyone.

What does decide the content

Three things, in order. First, the order in which the tasks genuinely occur for a beginner — which is why the course is a sequence rather than a collection of articles. Second, what can be stated honestly from a source we can point to: published guidance from Australian government bodies, documented features of operating systems, and the material supplied to us about any named product. Third, what a complete beginner in Australia actually needs, which is why Step 5 exists at all and why classification, consumer rights and household rules take up as much room as graphics settings. The method is described further on the About page, including how often the course is reviewed.

Trademark notice

All brand names on Paleflux, War Thunder among them, are the property of their owners. Except for the paid affiliate links described on our funding page, none of those owners is affiliated with Paleflux, and none has endorsed or sponsored it.

Paleflux is an independent publication of East trading company s.r.o. It is not an official site, an authorised source, a reseller, a partner or a support channel for any game or publisher, and it does not distribute software.

If you would rather we were not paid

That is easy and we will not mind. Type the game's name into a search engine and go to its site directly; nothing in the course depends on how you got there. Alternatively, ignore the example entirely — every step works against any title in the category, and the checklists name no product at all.
