Affiliate Disclosure

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a way for content creators like GlowTory to earn a small commission by recommending products or services they genuinely use and love.

When you click a link on GlowTory that leads to a product or retailer, that link may contain a unique tracking code. If you go on to make a purchase, the retailer pays GlowTory a small percentage of the sale — at absolutely no extra cost to you. The price you pay is always exactly the same whether you use our link or not.

Our Promise to You

Honesty is the foundation of GlowTory. Our readers trust us, and that trust means everything. Here is what we commit to, always:

• We only recommend products we have personally used or genuinely believe in
• We never recommend a product because it has an affiliate programme — only because it's actually good
• We never write a positive review in exchange for a commission
• If we don't like a product, we say so — regardless of any financial relationship
• Affiliate links are always disclosed clearly and upfront
• We will never recommend something harmful, ineffective or poor quality just to earn money

Your trust is worth infinitely more to us than any commission. If that ever changed, GlowTory would lose everything it stands for.

How It Works

Here is the simple step-by-step of how affiliate marketing works on GlowTory:

• We discover, test and genuinely love a product
• We write an honest review or include it in a round-up
• We link to the product using an affiliate link where available
• If you click and buy, we earn a small commission from the retailer
• You pay the exact same price you would have paid anyway
• The commission helps us keep GlowTory running and producing free content

Affiliate income is what allows us to invest time in testing products, writing detailed reviews, and keeping GlowTory free to read for everyone. We are genuinely grateful for every reader who shops through our links.

Programmes We Use

GlowTory participates in affiliate programmes with a number of trusted retailers and networks. These include but are not limited to:

This list may be updated as we join new programmes. If you have questions about a specific link, please contact us.

How to Spot Affiliate Links

We make it easy to know when a post contains affiliate links. Look for:

• A disclosure notice at the top of each post containing affiliate links, clearly stating that the post may contain affiliate links
• The phrase "This post contains affiliate links" near the beginning of relevant articles
• An asterisk (*) next to individual product links in some posts

We never hide affiliate relationships. If you're ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, feel free to ask us directly.

Sponsored Content vs Affiliate Links

It's worth understanding the difference between affiliate links and sponsored content — they are not the same thing:

• Affiliate links — we chose to feature the product ourselves and earn a commission if you buy through our link. No brand paid us to write about the product.
• Sponsored content — a brand has paid us (or gifted us product) in exchange for coverage. These posts are always labelled as "Sponsored", "AD" or "In partnership with [Brand]" at the very top.

In both cases, our opinions remain entirely our own. We maintain full editorial independence regardless of financial relationships.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in compliance with 16 CFR Part 255: Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, as well as applicable advertising standards in other jurisdictions.

If you have concerns about any content on GlowTory in relation to advertising standards, please contact us and we will address them promptly.

Transparency is something we take seriously. If you have any questions about affiliate links, sponsored content, or how GlowTory makes money, please don't hesitate to reach out — we're always happy to talk openly about it.
