applegreenshop.com earns money from affiliate links. This page explains that in plain English, as the Federal Trade Commission asks publishers to do.
The short version
applegreenshop.com 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. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
In practice: many of the buy buttons and product links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and then buy something, Amazon may pay us a small commission on that purchase. Assume that any outbound link to a retailer on this site is an affiliate link unless it is clearly something else.
It costs you nothing extra
The price you pay is exactly the same whether you reach the retailer through one of our links or type the address yourself. The commission comes out of the retailer’s margin, not your wallet. We do not set prices, we do not see your payment details, and we are not told what you bought. What we receive is a report of referred sales.
Links may be redirected
An outbound link on this site may pass through one or more redirects before it lands on the retailer’s page. That is how a referral is attributed and how we keep links working when a product page moves. The destination is still the retailer’s own website, and you can see the final address in your browser’s address bar once the page loads.
Where our recommendations come from
Our write-ups are built from manufacturer specifications, published retail listing data and aggregated buyer feedback. We do not physically test, use, measure or own the products we write about, and we publish no performance measurements of our own. Anything presented as a figure comes from the manufacturer or the listing, and we say so. Read about this site for the full method.
Editorial independence
The affiliate relationship does not decide what we cover or what we say. Commission rates differ from one category to another, and we deliberately do not let that steer coverage. Nobody pays us to include a product, to place it above another product, or to leave out a drawback. Where the source data contradicts itself, which happens often in these categories, we say so in the write-up rather than choosing the version that sells better.
We are not a retailer. We do not hold stock, take orders, ship anything, or handle returns and warranty claims. Your purchase contract is with the retailer you buy from, and their terms, prices, availability and returns policy apply.
Amazon’s own tracking
Once you follow a link to Amazon, you are on Amazon’s site under Amazon’s privacy policy and cookie practices. Amazon sets its own cookies to record the referral, typically lasting a limited window after the click. We do not control those cookies and cannot read them. Our cookie policy covers what happens on our side.
