In the interest of transparency and as required by EU consumer protection standards, we are disclosing that we participate in various affiliate marketing programs.
1. What is an affiliate link?
When we suggest products or services, we may include "affiliate links." This means that if you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the merchant at no extra cost to you.
2. Our Values-Led Approach
Winsome Planet is a sustainable travel publication. Our mission is to promote conscious exploration. Because of this:
- We only suggest products from third-party partners who implement carbon-conscious or sustainable practices.
- We only recommend products or services that we genuinely believe will add value to our readers.
- Editorial integrity is our priority. A commission never influences our choice of products or the content of our reviews.
3. Affiliate Partners
We work with partners such as [Insert specific affiliate programs if needed, e.g., Booking.com Green Sustainable properties, etc.]. Clicking an affiliate link may involve the partner placing a cookie on your device to track the referral.
4. Why do we use affiliate links?
Running Winsome Planet involves costs such as hosting, photography equipment, and research. Affiliate commissions help support the operation of this site, allowing us to keep most of our long-form guides and stories free for everyone.
Compliance Note: This disclosure aligns with the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive and the **Advertising Standards Authority** guidelines, ensuring users can clearly identify commercial content and intents before making a purchasing decision.
