Affiliate and Advertising Policy
This Affiliate and Advertising Policy explains how Horse n Hay handles affiliate links and third‑party advertising. We aim to be transparent about how revenue is generated to support the site’s operation, maintenance, and content creation.
1. Purpose of This Policy
Horse n Hay is committed to clear and honest communication with our readers, users, and partners. This policy describes 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?
Horse n Hay may participate in affiliate marketing programs. We sometimes include special tracking links (affiliate links) in our articles and product recommendations. If you click one of these links and make a purchase or complete a qualifying action, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Our Use of Affiliate Links
We recommend products and services we believe are useful, relevant, or valuable to our readers—especially those related to horse care, tack, feed, and stable management. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content; our reviews and recommendations reflect our honest opinions and research.
Your Responsibility
You are under no obligation to use our affiliate links. The decision to buy any product or service is entirely yours, and you may choose to visit a merchant’s site directly instead.
Affiliate Programs
We 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.com. As an Amazon Associate, Horse n Hay earns from qualifying purchases.
Horse n Hay may also participate in other affiliate programs and partnerships from time to time.
3. Advertising Disclosure
Third-Party Ads
Horse n Hay may display third‑party advertisements supplied by various ad networks, including services like Google AdSense. These networks serve ads that may be relevant to you based on your browsing behavior.
How Advertising Works
Ads are usually labeled (for example, “Ads by Google”) or otherwise identified. Third‑party vendors, including Google, may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our site or other sites across the internet.
Your Choices Regarding Advertising
You can opt out of personalized advertising via your Google Ads Settings page (https://adssettings.google.com/). To opt out of a third‑party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising, visit www.aboutads.info.
4. Sponsored Content & Paid Reviews
Occasionally Horse n Hay may publish sponsored content, paid reviews, or other compensated material. We are committed to clear disclosure whenever content is created in partnership with a sponsor or when compensation has been received.
Sponsored content will be clearly labeled with phrases such as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” “In partnership with [Brand Name],” or similar language at the start of the content so readers can easily identify it.
Our commitment to honesty remains. Even in sponsored posts, we will offer genuine opinions and findings based on our experience and research.
