Disclosure Statement

Throughout this website you will see ads and product suggestions. In some cases, we are affiliated with these programs and may be compensated for bookings of these services. In addition, please realise that we will not recommend a product or service which we consider unworthy. We have high standards and guidelines for the various products and services that we suggest.

These methods include the use of Google AdSense,  various affiliate programs and sales of our own e-books published on Kindle and also sold via this website as portable documents.

An affiliate program is a type of online pay-per-sale arrangement. Typically, the way it works is that a company will pay out a commission for every sale sent to them by any website owner who has been approved to participate in their affiliate program. In theory, the way an affiliate program works is that we have a website or a blog and we love a particular product, so we suggest it to our visitors. If someone makes a purchase as a result, My Fairytale Cottage. com receives a small commission at no extra cost to the customer. As mentioned before, we will only suggest a product or service if we deem it a good one. In other words, we will never recommend a product solely because we have the ability to earn a commission from the affiliate program.
