Disclosure Policy
Last updated: March 19, 2024
1. Introduction
At Scared and Cozy, we believe in transparency and honesty with our readers. This disclosure policy explains how we handle affiliate links, sponsored content, and advertising on our website.
2. Affiliate Links
We participate in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission if you click on certain links and make a purchase. These programs include:
- Amazon Associates
- Bookshop.org
- Other relevant affiliate programs
When you click on an affiliate link, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support our website and allows us to continue providing free content.
3. Sponsored Content
From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or reviews. This means we receive compensation (either monetary or in the form of products/services) in exchange for writing about a particular topic, product, or service.
All sponsored content will be clearly marked with:
- A "Sponsored" or "Sponsored Post" label
- Disclosure statements at the beginning of the content
- Clear indication of any compensation received
4. Advertising
We use Google AdSense and other advertising networks to display ads on our website. These ads are clearly marked as advertisements and are separate from our editorial content.
Our advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your interests and show you relevant ads. You can learn more about this in our Cookie Policy.
5. Editorial Independence
While we may receive compensation through affiliate links, sponsored content, or advertising, we maintain full editorial independence. Our opinions and recommendations are always our own and are based on our genuine experiences and research.
6. Product Reviews
When reviewing products, we:
- Provide honest, unbiased opinions
- Clearly disclose if we received the product for free
- Include both positive and negative aspects
- Base our reviews on personal experience and research
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Disclosure Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
