Affiliate disclosure.
How LoveQuarters earns money, what an affiliate link does, and the wall we keep between recommendations and revenue.
This page is short on purpose. We want you to know exactly how this site makes money, and exactly what we will and will not do for it.
What an affiliate link does
An affiliate link is a special URL that tracks when a reader clicks through to a brand and buys something. If a purchase happens, the brand pays us a small commission, usually 5 to 15 percent of the sale. The price you pay does not change.
We sign up with brands whose products we would recommend regardless. We do not sign up with brands whose products we would not recommend.
How we decide what to recommend
These four rules govern every recommendation.
Editorial first, commerce second
Recommendations are made by the editorial team based on research and testing. Commerce comes after.
Disclosure on every affiliate link
Anywhere we link to a product through an affiliate link, we disclose that fact in plain language.
No paid placement
We do not accept payment to add a brand to a list, move it up in a ranking, or add positive language.
We say what does not work
Our reviews include products we do not recommend.
FTC compliance
LoveQuarters complies with the FTC Endorsement Guides. Material connections with brands we link to are disclosed clearly, near the recommendation.

Display advertising
In addition to affiliate links, some pages on this site display ads from third-party ad networks (currently ExoClick). Ads appear primarily on the legacy blog posts, not on cornerstone pages.
We do not control the specific ads that appear. Networks serve ads based on their own targeting. If you see an ad you find inappropriate, please email editorial@lovequarters.com and we will report it.
Display ads are clearly labeled as "Advertisement" and are visually separated from editorial content. They do not influence what we write or recommend.
