At theecofriendlylife.com (referred to henceforth as “we,” “our,” or “us”), we are committed to being transparent about the ways in which we generate revenue through affiliate marketing. This disclosure provides important information about our use of affiliate links, third-party services, and the collection of your personal data. By using our website, you consent to the practices described in this disclosure.
Affiliate Links and Commission Earnings
theecofriendlylife.com participates in various affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates
- Commission Junction (CJ)
- ShareASale
- Rakuten Marketing
- Other affiliate networks and direct affiliate partnerships
When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission, at no additional cost to you. Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through our link. These commissions help us to maintain and grow our website, ensuring that we can continue to provide valuable content on eco-friendly living, sustainability, and green lifestyle topics.
The affiliate links on this website are clearly identified with an appropriate disclosure on each page, blog post, or recommendation where applicable. This disclosure is provided to ensure compliance with all relevant laws, including the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guidelines for online advertising.
Types of Affiliate Links
We may use affiliate links in the following forms:
- Text Links: These may appear in blog posts, articles, or reviews.
- Banner Ads: Displayed in sidebars or within content, leading to third-party merchants or affiliate partners.
- Sponsored Posts: Typically, we do not write sponsored posts. We want to bring you real, unbiased information. However, if a post is sponsored by a third-party company we will disclose this affiliate relationship clearly in the beginning of the post.
- Product Recommendations: We may recommend products and services based on our personal experience or research. If you purchase these products through our affiliate links, we may earn a commission.
Third-Party Services
In addition to affiliate programs, we use several third-party services to enhance your experience on our site:
- Social Media Plugins: We may use social media sharing buttons (such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) which may collect information about your interactions with the buttons.
- Advertising Networks: Third-party ad networks may display ads on our site. These ads may include affiliate links. We are not responsible for the content of these ads or the privacy practices of third-party ad networks.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Page or adjusting your settings through Google’s Ads Settings.
