DISCLOSURE AND PRIVACY POLICY

DISCLOSURE
This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. For questions about this blog, please contact Staci at CobbleHillFarmNY@gmail.com.

Recently, the Federal Trade Commission released new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, Youtube videos, etc) know if the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed or partnered with a different company. Basically, the readers need to know if the blogger is making money by sharing a link, product, or service. As lifeatcobblehillfarm.com continues to grow, so do the costs associated with running and maintaining it. Listed below are several ways I offset those costs.

In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site:
Any/all of the links on lifeatcobblehillfarm.com are affiliate links. This means that if you click on the link and buy certain items, I will receive a small commission. The price is the same for you, though! Thank you for your support.
If I post an affiliate link to a product, it is something that I personally use, support and/or would recommend without an affiliate link.
I sometimes review items that are sent to me for free. All of my opinions regarding them are my own. I only endorse products that are in alignment with my ideals and that I believe would be of value to my readers.
If a post is sponsored by a company, I will disclose that within the post. Please know that I am EXTREMELY picky about the products I share here. If it’s not something I would use with my family, I won’t recommend it.
Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.

Amazon Disclosure
I participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon properties including, but not limited to, amazon.com or amazonwireless.com.
