Cups of Coutures
Affiliate Disclosure
A clear explanation of editorial independence, retailer links and commercial relationships.
The current position
Effective 11 October 2026. Cups of Coutures publishes purchasing guidance and may seek membership of relevant affiliate programmes. The current retailer links on this site are ordinary links without affiliate tracking; we do not earn commission from them. We do not claim membership of a programme or a paid relationship with a brand merely because we link to its website.
How affiliate links work
If an affiliate relationship is introduced, an eligible purchase made through a tracked link may earn us a commission. The applicable article will identify its affiliate links or commercial relationship near the recommendation. The retailer sets its prices and purchase terms. Tracking and attribution are governed by the relevant retailer or network's policies, and those practices will be reflected in our privacy and cookie information where applicable.
Editorial judgement
Shopping guidance should explain who an item or category might suit, the tradeoffs and what to check before paying. Commission potential must not replace those considerations. We do not sell numeric ratings, invent product testing or guarantee results. Research-based recommendations are distinct from hands-on reviews. A stock image illustrates a topic; it is not evidence of a product test, a brand collaboration or a personal trip.
Sponsorship, gifts and questions
Paid placements, sponsored articles and relevant gifted products will be identified if published. A commercial proposal does not guarantee positive coverage or publication. If you think a disclosure is missing or unclear, send the page URL to hello@cupsofcoutures.com so the matter can be reviewed.
