Hi there! Thanks for visiting Philia Archives — we’re really glad you’re here.
Because transparency and trust are important to us, we want to let you know how affiliate links work on our blog and how they help support what we do.
How Affiliate Links Work
Some of the links on our site are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. These commissions help us keep the site running, create new content, and fuel our tea and coffee habits (essential to any writer’s process).
Here are the affiliate links you’ll see across our site:
- Amazon: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
- Bookshop.org: We are an affiliate of Bookshop.org and we will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.
People Over Profit
Even though we may earn commissions, we always share our genuine opinions, experiences, and recommendations. We don’t promote products or services just because they offer higher payouts — we only share things we truly believe could be valuable to our readers.
We never accept payment for positive reviews.
We disclose affiliate relationships clearly and openly on pages and posts where they appear.
Third-Party Tracking & Cookies
Affiliate programs often use tracking cookies to know if you visited their site from ours. These cookies:
- Help attribute purchases so we can earn commissions.
- Don’t give us access to your personal information.
- Have their own privacy and cookie practices, which we don’t control.
For more details about how we handle data on our end, please see our Privacy Policy.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running a quality blog takes time, tools, hosting, and lots of energy. Affiliate commissions are one of the ways we’re able to:
- Keep Philia Archives free (and ad-free!) for everyone
- Create more entertaining, thought-provoking, and adventure-stirring articles
- Keep improving the content you see here
If you choose to use our links — or support us through other means such as Ko-fi — thank you! We’re deeply grateful for your kindness.
Thanks again for reading and being part of our community, and may the pages and paths ahead of you be great.
