Disclosure
At Share with Shelly, transparency is important to us. This Disclosure Policy explains our relationships with third parties and how we may earn income from this website. Any affiliations, affiliate links, and advertisements will be openly disclosed and updated in this section.
Affiliate Links & Advertising
Amazon Associates Program
Share with Shelly is 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.
When you click on an Amazon link on our website and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support the blog and allows us to continue providing free content. We only recommend books and products we genuinely love and believe will be valuable to our readers. Our opinions are always our own, and we will never recommend something solely for commission.
Other Affiliate Programs
We may participate in other affiliate programs from time to time. These will be clearly disclosed when relevant. Affiliate relationships do not influence our honest reviews or recommendations.
Google AdSense
Share with Shelly uses Google AdSense to display advertisements on the website. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. In order to understand more about the advertisements displayed, Google explains how ads are targeted to the website. If you’d like to control the types of ads you see, Google also has instructions on how to do so. If you have any further questions, feel free to visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.
Sponsored Content & Brand Partnerships
From time to time, we may partner with brands, publishers, or authors for sponsored content or collaborations. All sponsored content will be clearly marked with disclosures such as:
- “This post is sponsored by [Brand]”
- “#ad” or “#sponsored”
- “In partnership with [Brand]”
Sponsored relationships never compromise the integrity of our reviews. We maintain full editorial control and will only partner with brands that align with our values.
Free Review Copies
We occasionally receive free books from publishers, authors, or other sources for review consideration. Receiving a free book does not guarantee a positive review or that the book will be reviewed at all. All reviews reflect our honest opinions, regardless of how we acquired the book. When relevant, we will disclose if a book was received for free.
Analytics & Data Collection
Share with Shelly uses Google Analytics to measure customer engagement with the website, optimize user experience, and understand our audience better. If you have any questions about how they handle user data and personal information, feel free to visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites or https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Google Analytics collects data such as:
- Pages visited
- Time spent on site
- Geographic location (general)
- Device and browser information
- Traffic sources
This data is used to improve the website and create better content for our readers.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure policy is in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”
