Last updated: 21 February 2025
​
At Cotswold Insider, a brand of Cotswold Marketing and Events Limited ("we," "us," or "our"), we are committed to transparency and honesty. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we may earn commissions through affiliate links on our website.
​
1. What Are Affiliate Links?
Some of the links on our website are affiliate links. This means that if you click on the link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help us to maintain the website, create content, and continue providing free resources to our audience.
​
2. How Do Affiliate Links Affect You?
When you click on an affiliate link:
-
You are redirected to a third-party website.
-
If you make a purchase, we may receive a commission.
-
There is no extra cost to you; the price remains the same whether you use the affiliate link or go directly to the retailer’s site.
Using affiliate links helps support our platform and enables us to keep offering free and valuable content.
​
3. Our Affiliate Partnerships
We only promote products, services, or experiences that we believe will be valuable to our audience. Our affiliate relationships include (but are not limited to):
-
Travel and accommodation platforms (e.g., Booking.com, Airbnb)
-
Tour booking services
-
Local businesses, restaurants, and hotels
-
Outdoor gear and travel essentials
-
Online retailers like Amazon (as part of the Amazon Associates Programme)
We maintain our editorial independence, and our reviews, recommendations, and opinions are always our own—regardless of any affiliate partnership.
​
4. Sponsored Content and Paid Partnerships
In addition to affiliate links, we may feature sponsored content or enter into paid partnerships with businesses and brands relevant to our audience. Any sponsored content or paid promotion will always be clearly marked to maintain transparency.
​
5. Why Do We Use Affiliate Links?
Running a website involves costs, including hosting, design, content creation, and maintenance. Affiliate commissions help us cover these expenses without charging our readers or users.
​
6. Your Support Matters
When you use affiliate links on Cotswold Insider, you help support our work at no extra cost to you. We greatly appreciate your support, which allows us to continue providing high-quality content, travel advice, and insider tips for exploring the Cotswolds.
