Affiliate Disclosure

1. What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a special tracking URL that contains a unique identifier for CabinetLoop. When you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase on the retailer's website, that retailer pays us a small commission for the referral.

This is a standard practice across the internet, used by blogs, review sites, news outlets, and content creators of all sizes. It allows websites like ours to remain free to readers while still generating revenue to cover hosting, research, and content production costs.

The commission comes out of the retailer's marketing budget — not from your pocket. You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or navigate directly to the retailer's website.

2. Programs We Participate In

CabinetLoop participates in the following affiliate programs:

3. How Commissions Work

Here's the typical flow when you click an affiliate link on CabinetLoop:

1. You click a link — for example, a "Check Price on Amazon" button inside a product recommendation section.
2. A tracking cookie is placed — the retailer or affiliate network stores a small cookie on your device that identifies CabinetLoop as the referring site. This cookie typically expires within 24 hours to 90 days, depending on the program.
3. You make a purchase — if you buy the product (or sometimes any product from that retailer) within the cookie window, the retailer records the sale.
4. We receive a commission — the retailer pays CabinetLoop a small percentage of the sale price. The exact commission rate varies by product category and program.

If you click an affiliate link but don't make a purchase within the tracking window, no commission is earned — and that's completely fine. We only benefit when our recommendations genuinely help you find something you wanted to buy.

4. Does It Cost You More?

No. Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay. The price you see on the retailer's website is the same whether you arrived through our link or navigated there directly.

In fact, in some cases, affiliate links may lead you to current discounts, bundle deals, or promotional pricing that we've identified during our research. When we mention price ranges on our site — like $800–$2,500 for stock cabinets — those figures reflect the general market, not affiliate-adjusted pricing.

5. Editorial Independence

Our editorial integrity is non-negotiable. Here's how we protect it:

• We recommend what we believe is useful. A product's commission rate never determines whether it appears on our site.
• We show pros and cons. No cabinet type or product is perfect for everyone. We present trade-offs honestly so you can make informed decisions.
• We don't accept paid placements. Retailers cannot pay to have their products featured, ranked higher, or described more favorably.
• We disclose all partnerships. Every affiliate relationship is disclosed on this page and within the relevant content.

If we ever recommend a product that doesn't have an affiliate link, we do so because it's the right recommendation — not because we're leaving money on the table. Conversely, we will decline an affiliate partnership if the products don't meet our standards.

6. FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR, Part 255), we are required to disclose any material connection between CabinetLoop and the products or services we mention. This page, along with our on-page notices, fulfills that requirement.

We aim to make our affiliate relationships as clear as possible. If you ever feel a disclosure is unclear or missing, please contact us — we take this seriously and will correct any oversight promptly.

7. How to Identify Affiliate Links

While we strive to label affiliate content clearly, here are the common signs that a link may be an affiliate link:

• "Check Price" or "View on Amazon" buttons inside product recommendation sections.
• Product cards displaying images, prices, and a call-to-action button.
• URLs containing tracking parameters such as tag=, ref=, or aff= when you hover over a link.
• Explicit labels such as "affiliate link," "sponsored," or "partner link."

Any product-focused section on CabinetLoop is likely to contain affiliate links. Editorial content, guides, and educational articles may or may not contain them depending on context.

8. Opting Out

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer not to support us through affiliate commissions, you can:

• Navigate directly to the retailer's website without clicking our links.
• Clear cookies in your browser after visiting our site.
• Use browser extensions that block tracking cookies and affiliate parameters.
• Disable affiliate cookies through your cookie consent preferences (where available).

We respect your choice either way. Our content remains free and accessible regardless of whether you use our affiliate links.
