Disclosure & How Our Website is Funded – Journal Treats

At Journal Treats, our goal is to provide you with honest, unbiased reviews, comparisons, and product roundups to help you make informed decisions for your home, garden, and beyond. Maintaining transparency is essential to us, so we’re committed to being clear about how our website is funded.

Our challenge is to prioritize your trust by delivering accurate and impartial content, while also generating revenue through ads and product recommendations.

How We Operate

Every product or service we recommend goes through a thorough review process. Whether we have an affiliate or referral partnership with a company or not, we always give you our honest opinion. We don’t endorse products solely based on profitability—we only recommend what we would personally use. Unlike some sites, we don’t manipulate our reviews to favor companies with the best commercial relationships. In fact, you’ll often find us recommending products or services that we don’t earn anything from at all.

While we need revenue to support our site and team, our editorial freedom and integrity are never for sale.

Advertisers and Referral Fees

Some of the links on Journal Treats may earn us referral fees if you click through and make a purchase, which helps fund the website. However, we also include many links to services we don’t profit from. If we believe something is genuinely worthwhile, we’ll recommend it, regardless of whether we get compensated.

If a link is an affiliate link, we earn a small commission if you purchase through that link. This doesn’t add any extra cost to you, and in some cases, you may even save money through special deals we negotiate with retailers.

Privacy and Affiliate Links

Rest assured, your privacy is safe with us. Affiliate links are not invasive. Major brands like Amazon and Apple offer affiliate programs, and many reputable tech sites use them to fund their work. Our use of these links is strictly to ensure proper credit for our referrals.

Your Choice Matters

While affiliate fees help support our writers, researchers, and editors, your decision to engage with these links is entirely up to you. If you prefer to avoid tracking or stay anonymous, we respect that choice. In fact, we recommend using a high-quality VPN to protect your online privacy.
