Affiliate Policy
At Europe Feeds, we are concerned about the valuable, informative, and helpful content that plays a role in making important decisions about products, trends, and lifestyle choices by readers. To support all the various things we do while ensuring that all our content is available free of charge, we sometimes use affiliate links on our site.
These affiliate links give us a very small commission paid by the affiliate programme when a reader clicks on our link to make a purchase from a third-party retailer, such as Amazon and other affiliate partners. While this money is used for the maintenance and growth of our website, it has not and never will influence what we write or publish.
We openly believe that the readers should know everything. Hence, this is why we framed this Affiliate Policy here to clearly state how things work with these affiliate links and why we have them in place or how they can affect you.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are URLs that have special tagging so that the retailer could know that a visitor came from our website. The retailer sends us a small fee as a referral if you click on the affiliate link and make a purchase. You are not charged extra for this. Regardless of whether you used our link or went directly to the website, you paid the same price.
To illustrate, if we review, say, a travel backpack or kitchen gizmo, and post a link to buy it on Amazon, that link may be endowed with an affiliate code. If you get that item – or any item at all – in a limited period, the retailer may reward us with a small commission.
And it is worth noting that you would not be charged anything extra; the commission essentially is the retailer’s way of thanking us for bringing them business.
Does This Affect Our Content?
Absolutely not at all. Editorial integrity is the core of what we do.
At Europe Feeds, our content grows entirely from research, testing, user experience, and real expertise. Affiliate links do not dictate the products we choose to review/recommend/include in our articles.
We only link to products and services we truly feel are helpful, high-quality, or worth considering. If we wouldn’t recommend it to a friend, we’re not recommending it to our readers.
We never accept payment in exchange for positive reviews and we do not allow brands to influence our opinions. Even when a company wants to promote a product through our site, it would be clearly labelled as a sponsored post and would follow the strict disclosure guidelines.
How Are Affiliate Links Selected?
Every affiliate link is picked and inserted by our editorial team based on the considerations for that product:
- Quality and performance
- Value for money
- Availability and ease of purchase
- Shipping and return policies
- Brand reputation
- Customer reviews
Editorial Independence
Europe Feeds sees it as its task to maintain independence and credibility. Our readers rely on us to deliver honest and unbiased data, and we take this commitment very seriously.
Every article, evaluation, and recommendation is held and published without the intervention of others, including any companies that might have a stake in the publication, such as affiliate partners. We do not allow brands to pay us for any type of favouring of their placement, nor do we allow brands to see our content prior to its going live.
If a product performs poorly in our testing, we will say so even if we’re linking to it via an affiliate programme. Our loyalty lies with our readers, not with brands or advertisers.
