At Brainroid (https://brainroid.com), we believe in honesty, integrity, and full transparency. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we monetize certain parts of our content through affiliate relationships, and how that affects you as a visitor or buyer.
By using our website, you agree to the terms of this disclosure.
1. 💡 What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a small commission if you make a purchase or take an action through that link, at no extra cost to you.
When you click an affiliate link on Brainroid and complete a qualifying transaction (such as buying a product or signing up for a service), we may receive a referral commission from the company.
2. 💸 Why We Use Affiliate Links
Affiliate marketing helps us:
- Keep the site running and maintained
- Continue offering free, high-quality content
- Avoid intrusive pop-up ads or paywalls
- Support future content creation, tools, and resources
We only recommend tools, services, or products that:
- We have used, tested, or thoroughly researched
- We genuinely believe are helpful, relevant, or high quality
- Are from companies with a trustworthy reputation
3. 🔎 How We Disclose Affiliate Relationships
To comply with the FTC’s Endorsement Guidelines, Google AdSense, and international standards (like GDPR & UK CAP Codes), we disclose affiliate links clearly and upfront.
You’ll typically see:
- An inline message like: “This post may contain affiliate links. Learn more in our Affiliate Disclosure.”
- A banner or footnote with: “We may earn a commission if you purchase via links on this page.”
- A full disclosure statement at the top or bottom of affiliate-heavy content
We aim for transparency at all times.
4. 🛍️ Affiliate Programs We Participate In
Brainroid is part of multiple affiliate programs, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates
- ClickBank
- Impact
- ShareASale
- PartnerStack
- Other niche-specific programs (courses, SaaS tools, productivity apps, etc.)
This means product or service links on our site may be tracked by cookies or affiliate software provided by these platforms.
Amazon disclaimer (required by Amazon):
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
5. 📢 Sponsored Content vs. Affiliate Links
Affiliate links are not the same as sponsored content.
- Affiliate links = we may earn a commission only if you buy or sign up
- Sponsored content = we are paid upfront to feature a product, service, or brand
If we ever publish sponsored articles or paid promotions, they will be clearly marked (e.g., “Sponsored Post” or “In Collaboration With…”).
6. 🧾 Your Responsibility as a Reader
While we aim to be transparent and only recommend quality offerings, you should:
- Always do your own research before purchasing
- Read the full terms, privacy policy, and support options from the product provider
- Understand that prices, quality, and policies can change over time
You acknowledge that we are not liable for third-party product performance or service outcomes.
7. 📍 Cookie Tracking & Privacy
Some affiliate links may place a tracking cookie on your device to attribute sales to Brainroid. This helps us receive credit for referrals.
You can manage cookie usage by:
- Adjusting your browser settings
- Using privacy tools or ad blockers
- Reviewing our Privacy Policy for full details on cookies and data usage
8. 🛡️ Commitment to Integrity
Brainroid’s content is created with editorial independence. Our affiliate relationships do not influence:
- Our editorial standards
- Product comparisons or rankings
- Review scores or summaries
If we ever publish a biased review, it will be disclosed transparently as sponsored content.
9. 🔄 Updates to This Disclosure
We may update this Affiliate Disclosure as our partnerships evolve. Changes will be reflected on this page with a revised date.
We recommend checking this page periodically if you are concerned about how we monetize content.
