Advertising Disclosure

Affiliate Program Participation

Bramley & Sons may participate in affiliate marketing programs. This means that we may receive a commission when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or sign up for a service. These affiliate relationships help support our business and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.

We may be affiliated with various software providers, business tools, professional services, and other products or services that we genuinely believe could benefit our clients and website visitors.

Commission-Based Links

Some links on our website may be affiliate links, meaning we earn a commission if you make a purchase through that link. Here's what you should know about these links:

• You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the vendor's website
• The commission we earn does not affect the price you pay
• We only recommend products and services we have personally used or thoroughly researched
• Our affiliate relationships do not influence our honest assessment of products or services
• We clearly disclose when a link is an affiliate link whenever possible

Product Recommendation Policies

Our approach to recommending products and services is guided by the following principles:

• We recommend only products and services we believe offer genuine value
• Our recommendations are based on our professional experience and research
• We prioritize our clients' best interests over potential commission earnings
• We provide honest assessments, including both strengths and limitations
• We do not make recommendations solely based on commission rates
• We regularly review our recommendations to ensure they remain appropriate

Financial Relationship Transparency

We maintain transparency about our financial relationships. If we have a material financial relationship with a company whose products or services we discuss, we will disclose that relationship. This includes affiliate partnerships, referral agreements, sponsorships, or any other arrangement where we receive compensation for recommending their offerings.

Identification of Paid Content

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our website or through our marketing channels. When we do, we clearly identify such content as sponsored or paid. This identification may include:

• Labels such as "Sponsored," "Paid Promotion," "Advertisement," or "Partner Content"
• Disclosure statements at the beginning or end of the content
• Visual indicators that distinguish sponsored content from editorial content
• Clear attribution to the sponsoring company or brand

Sponsored Post Labeling Policies

All sponsored posts, articles, or other content will be clearly labeled before you begin reading or viewing. We do not attempt to disguise sponsored content as independent editorial content. Even when content is sponsored, it reflects our honest opinions and professional assessment based on our experience and expertise.

Brand Partnership Disclosures

We may enter into partnerships with brands, service providers, or other businesses. These partnerships may include:

• Co-marketing arrangements
• Referral agreements
• Joint webinars or events
• Content collaboration
• Technology or service integrations

When we have such partnerships, we disclose them to you. These partnerships are selected based on alignment with our values and our belief that they offer genuine value to our clients and audience.

Content Authenticity Guarantee

Regardless of whether content is sponsored or contains affiliate links, we guarantee that:

• All opinions expressed are our own and honest
• We maintain editorial independence in our content creation
• Sponsors do not control or dictate the content we publish
• We will not make false or misleading claims about any product or service
• We base recommendations on our professional judgment and experience

Behavioral Targeting and Personalization

Third-party advertisers may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing behavior for behavioral targeting purposes. This allows them to show you advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. This practice is also known as interest-based advertising or online behavioral advertising.

Ad Personalization Practices

The advertisements you see on our website may be personalized based on various factors, including your location, browsing history, search queries, and demographic information. This personalization is typically performed by the advertising networks we work with, not by us directly. We use Google's advertising services, which may personalize ads based on data collected across Google's services and partner websites.

You have several options for managing your advertising preferences:

• Visit the Google Ads Settings page to control personalized advertising from Google

2. Adjust your settings to disable advertising cookies
3. Visit the opt-out pages of the advertising networks we use
4. Enable "Do Not Track" in your browser settings (though not all advertisers honor this signal)

Please note that opting out of personalized advertising does not mean you will see fewer advertisements. It means the advertisements you see will be less relevant to your interests.

• Device information (browser type, operating system, device type)
• IP address and approximate location
• Pages visited on our website
