The rules for operating a website, such as this one, are constantly changing.
The FTC, in order to help protect people using the public internet, now requires that all websites that earn money through affiliate relationships and some forms of advertising, disclose that openly to readers.
The disclosure that follows is our attempt to fully comply with the FTC’s policy that demands we be transparent about any and all affiliate relations, testimonials and advertising relations we may have on this website.
In plain English you, the visitor or customer, should assume that any and all links on this site are affiliate links.
If you click on these links and go visit the resulting site, a cookie will be set in your web browser that will cause us to receive a commission “IF” you purchase a product on the other end “OR” possibly take some alternate form of action including clicking a supplied web link.
This is a legitimate way to monetize and pay for the operation of web sites and we gladly and proudly reveal our affiliate relationships to you.
This is a common practice on the internet, allowing us to provide and supply services to you, while you get to enjoy using this website.
In addition, we fully disclose that hyperlinks on this site are in some cases shortened, and in some cases cloaked to hide long ugly links for functionality and tracking purposes.
We have nothing to hide and we are proud of our relationship with the fine vendors, products and services found on this site. Link tracking, shortening and cloaking is a very common practice on all types of web sites and social media properties.
Further, we do not receive physical products or cash directly in exchange for any specific contents or statements made or contained in our you find on this site.
No one has paid us to make specific statements in these reviews. We have to tell you that it is possible that our reviews are influenced by our affiliate relationships and may create a conflict of interest.
We do not believe a conflict of interest exists, but you, the visitor or customer, must decide by considering the affiliate relationships and link techniques we have described. Obviously, we would like you to buy the service or products we write about and we are influenced by that fact.
We avoid conflict by only reviewing about products and services we trust and personally use. We strive to always give our honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on topics or products we write about and promote.
