1. Affiliate relationships
Kirameki may participate in affiliate or referral programmes with third-party service providers. Where this is the case, we may receive a commission or referral fee if a visitor to this website subsequently purchases a product or service through a link on this site.
What this means for you
- — Affiliate links are used solely where we believe the linked product or service is genuinely relevant to readers
- — The existence of an affiliate relationship does not affect the objectivity of descriptions or comparisons on this site
- — Commissions, where received, do not increase the price paid by the visitor
Product recommendation policy
Recommendations made on this website are based on the assessed suitability of the product or service for the context in which it appears. Financial relationships do not alter this assessment.
FTC compliance
In accordance with FTC guidelines and equivalent standards, any material connection between Kirameki and a recommended product or service will be clearly disclosed near the relevant content.
2. Sponsored content
From time to time, Kirameki may publish content that has been produced in connection with or funded by a third party. This includes brand partnerships, paid placements, and collaborations with external organisations.
Labelling policy
Any content that has been sponsored, paid for, or produced in connection with a commercial relationship will be clearly labelled as such at or near the start of the relevant page or section.
Content authenticity
Where sponsored content is published, Kirameki retains editorial control and does not publish material that misrepresents facts or contradicts our publicly stated approach. Sponsors do not have the ability to alter or suppress editorial conclusions.
Brand partnerships
Any formal brand partnership will be disclosed on the page or content to which it relates. General mentions of tools or services that Kirameki uses in its own work are provided for informational purposes and are not paid placements unless stated.
