Effective Date: January 1, 2025
At Cold Plunge Benefits for Women, we believe in complete transparency with our community. This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships and how we may earn commissions from some of the products we recommend.
What Are Affiliate Relationships?
Affiliate relationships are partnerships between our website and companies that sell cold plunge equipment and related wellness products. When you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the seller at no additional cost to you.
These commissions help support our website operations, content creation, and our mission to provide valuable information to women interested in cold plunging.
Our Current Affiliate Partners
We currently have or may establish affiliate relationships with the following types of companies:
- Cold Plunge Equipment Manufacturers: Companies like Plunge, Therafrost, and other tub manufacturers
- Wellness Product Companies: Providers of complementary wellness products and accessories
- Educational Resources: Books, courses, and training programs related to cold therapy
- Health and Fitness Brands: Companies offering products that complement cold plunging practices
This list may change over time as we identify new products and services that provide genuine value to our community.
How We Choose What to Recommend
Our recommendations are always based on our assessment of value and relevance to women's cold plunging needs. We only recommend products and services that we believe can genuinely benefit our audience. Our evaluation criteria include:
- Quality and safety of the product
- Specific benefits for women's wellness needs
- Value for money and accessibility
- Company reputation and customer service
- Alignment with our evidence-based approach
Important: The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our editorial content or recommendations. We maintain editorial independence and will always prioritize our readers' best interests over potential commissions.
How Affiliate Links Work
When we include affiliate links in our content, they may be identified in several ways:
- Clear labeling near or on the link itself
- Disclosure statements within the article or page
- General disclosure on pages containing affiliate links
When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase within a certain timeframe (usually 24-60 days, depending on the program), we may earn a commission. This commission comes from the seller's marketing budget and does not increase the price you pay.
