Affiliate policy
In short: some links on vinebebe.ro are affiliate links. If you reach an online shop through one of these links and buy something, the shop pays us a commission. You pay nothing extra.
How it works
vinebebe.ro takes part in affiliate programmes through the Profitshare network, through which we receive commissions for orders placed with partner shops, mainly eMAG.
When you click a button such as “See on eMAG”, you reach the shop through a link that tells it you came from us. If you place an order within a certain time window, part of its value comes back to us as a commission. The price you see and pay is the same as for any other visitor to the shop.
How to recognise an affiliate link
- Affiliate links appear only as buttons or text links, next to the description of the product we’re writing about.
- Under every button it says “affiliate link”.
- At the start of every article that contains such links there is a transparency note.
- Technically, the links are marked with
rel="sponsored nofollow".
Links to other pages on the site, to standards or to information sources are not affiliate links.
What we don’t do
- We don’t accept money to include or praise a product. Nobody can buy a place in an article.
- We don’t choose products by commission. We choose them by the criteria explained in each article. If the best solution is not to buy anything, we say so.
- We don’t show prices, discounts or stock and we don’t copy descriptions or images from shops. The illustrations on the site are drawn by us.
- We don’t open windows or links automatically and we don’t send you to a shop unless you click a link yourself.
- We don’t send emails or notifications with offers.
What this means for you
The affiliate commission is the reason the site can exist without a subscription and without ads covering the text. But it also means we have a financial interest when you buy through a link of ours – and it’s only fair that you know this when you read us. That’s why we write the downsides of every product, say openly that we haven’t tested the products and point to independent sources where they exist.
If you’d rather not use the affiliate links, you can look for the product directly in any shop. The articles stay just as useful.
Cookies and data
When you click an affiliate link, the shop and the affiliate network may use their own cookies, on their own sites, to attribute the order. We don’t receive data that identifies you: we only see aggregated reports on orders and commissions. Details in the cookie policy and in the privacy policy.
