Transparency & FTC Compliance
Full
Disclosure
We believe in honesty — on this site and about this site. Here is everything you need to know about how we make money and who we work with.
Some links on this site will pay us a small commission if you buy something after clicking them. Some pages show ads that pay us when you view or click them. None of this affects the confessions we publish, the stories we tell, or what we say on this site. The confessional runs on real stories, not sponsored content.
01 — Affiliate Links
Some links on Stiletto Confessions are affiliate links. An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a retailer or service provider that we referred you. If you click one of these links and make a qualifying purchase, we earn a small commission — typically a percentage of the sale price.
You pay the exact same price whether you use our affiliate link or navigate to the site directly. Our commission comes from the retailer, not from you.
How to spot affiliate links: We do our best to label affiliate links clearly, either with a note in the content or with a disclosure banner at the top of pages that contain them. When in doubt, assume a link to a product or service may be an affiliate link.
We only include affiliate links to products and services we believe may be of genuine interest or value to our community. Our editorial decisions — including which confessions we publish and how we write about topics — are never influenced by affiliate relationships.
Current affiliate programs we participate in may include:
Amazon Associates
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through Amazon links on this site.
Other Retail Programs
We may participate in additional affiliate programs from time to time. This page will be updated when new programs are added.
ShareASale / CJ / Similar
We may use affiliate networks that connect publishers with multiple brand programs under a single platform.
If you have questions about a specific link, email us at StacieStiletto@gmail.com and we will tell you whether it is affiliated.
02 — Display Advertising
Stiletto Confessions may display third-party advertisements. These ads are served by external ad networks, which may include:
- Google AdSense — Google’s advertising platform, which uses cookies and browsing data to serve relevant ads
- Other ad networks — Additional advertising partners may be added over time and will be listed here
We do not control the specific content of ads displayed. Ad content is determined by the ad network based on factors including your browsing history, location, and the content of the page you are viewing.
Ad networks may use cookies and tracking pixels. You can opt out of interest-based advertising at any time:
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out
- Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Opt-Out
- Google Ad Settings
For more on how advertising cookies work on this site, see our Privacy Policy.
03 — Editorial Independence
The confessions published on this site are real, anonymous, user-submitted stories. No confession is ever paid for, sponsored, or altered to benefit an advertiser or affiliate partner.
We do not accept payment to publish confessions, remove confessions, or present stories in a particular light. The integrity of the confessional is non-negotiable.
Any product recommendations, links, or editorial content that exists outside of the confessions themselves may be compensated as described in this Disclosure. That content will always be clearly distinguishable from user-submitted confessions.
04 — Opinions & No Guarantees
Any opinions expressed on this site by Stiletto Confessions (as distinct from user-submitted confessions) are our own. We do our best to share honest perspectives, but we make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information on this site.
Results from any product or service linked on this site will vary by individual. We are not responsible for your experience with any advertiser or affiliate partner.
This site is for entertainment purposes. Nothing here constitutes professional advice of any kind.
05 — Updates to This Disclosure
As Stiletto Confessions grows and new affiliate or advertising relationships are added, this Disclosure page will be updated to reflect them. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
