At Maddi Cooking, we are committed to transparency and honesty in all our content and recommendations. This Disclosure Policy outlines how we handle affiliate links, sponsored content, advertising, and other potential sources of compensation to ensure you can trust our advice and reviews.
Affiliate Links
Some of the links on our website are affiliate links. This means that if you click on the link and make a purchase from the linked retailer or service, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support the maintenance and growth of Maddi Cooking, allowing us to continue providing free recipes and cooking tips. We only recommend products or services that we genuinely believe in and would use ourselves, based on our own experiences or research. Our opinions are always our own, and affiliate relationships do not influence our content.
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, we may feature sponsored posts or collaborations where a brand or company compensates us to create content about their products or services. All sponsored content will be clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Paid Partnership” at the beginning of the post or within the content itself. Even in sponsored scenarios, we maintain editorial control and only partner with brands that align with our values and audience interests. Our goal is to provide valuable, authentic information, and sponsorships do not affect the honesty of our reviews or recipes.
Advertising
We may display advertisements on the site through third-party networks, such as Google AdSense or other ad platforms. These ads are selected based on relevance to our content and your browsing behavior, but we do not endorse the advertised products unless explicitly stated. Advertisers may use cookies or similar technologies to track interactions—please refer to our Privacy Policy for more details on data handling. We strive to ensure ads are non-intrusive and relevant, but we are not responsible for the content or practices of external advertisers.
Compensation and Gifts
From time to time, we may receive free products, samples, or compensation for reviews, giveaways, or promotions. If this occurs, it will be disclosed within the relevant content. Receiving such items does not guarantee a positive review; our feedback remains unbiased and based on genuine use.
Compliance
This policy complies with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. We believe in full disclosure to maintain your trust and the integrity of our site.
If you have any questions about this Disclosure Policy or our practices, please contact us. We appreciate your support and feedback!
