Samples

I am super fortunate to receive press samples, some of which I do feature on this site but I do also purchase a lot of beauty products for both the site and my personal usage. Regardless of how I have come by the product I will only feature my 100% honest opinion and a free product will not change that.

Sponsored Posts

I disclose all sponsored posts/advertisements both at the very beginning of the post and at the end, this is so that everyone knows where they stand, that it is clear it is an advert and there is no way it can go unnoticed. 

Affiliate Links

This site does use affiliate marketing - Skimlinks to be exact. I do not use affilate links on Twitter, Facebook nor Instagram.


Cookies

In keeping with new UK legislation, all advertising (that uses cookies ) will hold an AdChoices logo so users can opt out of cookie tracking from July 1st 2012. It is now standard to display a cookie disclaimer. It's important that you have a cookie disclaimer on your site to inform your readers that cookies are being served. It is not just networks such as Hand Picked Media that use cookies services such as Google Analytics/Statcounter etc. all use cookies to track visits so you will be seeing disclaimers of this kind more often than not.


What are cookies?
'Cookies' are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing a website.

How does this site use cookies?
Tracking/user analysis cookies. This allows me to see how many people are visiting this site and uses a third party service (such as Google Analytics and Quantcast) to do so.
Advertising: The advertising banners on this site come through my network (Handpicked Media) which supplies advertising from a range of approved digital partners. Occasionally these banners will use marketing cookies to show you adverts that you might be more interested in. This tracking system is anonymised and therefore it does not know who you are, it just uses the limited information available to it (via cookies) to serve you ads that may be relevant to you.
