Affiliate and Advertising Policy
This Affiliate and Advertising Policy explains how Fin And Flux (a site dedicated to aquariums, pet fish, and fish tank care) uses affiliate links and third-party advertising to help fund the site’s operation and content creation. Our aim is to be transparent about these practices so you can make informed choices while using our resources.
1. Purpose of This Policy
Fin And Flux is committed to honesty and clarity in our relationship with readers, hobbyists, and partners. This policy outlines how we use affiliate links and display ads, and how those practices may affect your experience on our site.
2. Affiliate Links Disclosure
What are Affiliate Links?
Fin And Flux may participate in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we sometimes include tracking links (affiliate links) in our articles, product roundups, and buying guides. If you click one of these links and complete a purchase or take a qualifying action, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Our Use of Affiliate Links
We recommend equipment, supplies, and services we believe are useful for aquarium enthusiasts — items we’ve researched, tested, or vetted. Having an affiliate link does not change our editorial standards; our reviews and recommendations reflect our genuine opinions and experience.
Your Responsibility
You are never required to use our affiliate links. Purchases are entirely your choice, and you may obtain the same products directly from vendors without using our links.
Affiliate Programs
We are a participant 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.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Fin And Flux may also participate in other affiliate programs from time to time, and we will disclose such relationships where applicable.
3. Advertising Disclosure
Third-Party Ads
Fin And Flux may display third-party advertisements served by advertising networks such as Google AdSense. These networks may use technologies to show ads that are relevant to your interests based on your browsing behavior.
How Advertising Works
Ads are typically labeled (for example, “Ads by Google”). Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on a user’s earlier visits to our site and other sites across the web.
Your Choices Regarding Advertising
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting your Google Ads Settings page (https://adssettings.google.com/). You can also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
4. Sponsored Content & Paid Reviews
Occasionally, Fin And Flux may publish sponsored content, paid reviews, or other compensated content. We believe in clear, conspicuous disclosure when content is created in partnership with a sponsor or when we receive compensation.
Any sponsored or paid content will be clearly marked with disclosures such as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” “In partnership with [Brand Name],” or similar language at the beginning of the content.
Our editorial integrity remains paramount. Even in sponsored posts, we will share honest opinions and findings based on our experience and testing.
5. No Professional Advice
The information on Fin And Flux, including product suggestions and care guidance, is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional veterinary, aquatics, or technical advice. Always consult an appropriate professional before making decisions that could affect the health of your aquatic pets or the safety of your setup.
