Our Approach to Transparency & Disclosure

​

Cotton Sky Lab is a playful and curious website that explores products, ideas, trends, and interesting discoveries from across the internet.

To keep this project sustainable and to support the ongoing creation of content, some pages on this website may contain affiliate links, referral links, or promotional partnerships.

Transparency is important to us. Whenever a financial relationship exists in connection with the content on this site, we aim to clearly and visibly disclose it so that readers understand how the website operates.

​

Affiliate Partnerships

​

Cotton Sky Lab may participate in various affiliate marketing programs and partnerships. This means that some links on this website may be affiliate links.

If you click on certain links and make a purchase, Cotton Sky Lab may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support the operation of the website and allow us to continue sharing interesting discoveries with our readers.

Affiliate partnerships may include collaborations with online retailers, brands, marketplaces, and other services that are featured on the website.

​

Product Recommendations

​

Some links on this website may be affiliate links. If you click on these links and purchase a product or service, Cotton Sky Lab may earn a commission.

However:

• Accessing our content is always free for readers

• The presence of an affiliate link does not necessarily mean a product is sponsored

• Recommendations are selected based on what we find interesting, unusual, or culturally relevant

Cotton Sky Lab focuses on sharing items, tools, or ideas that we believe are fun, curious, creative, or worth exploring.

​

Sponsored Content & Brand Collaborations

​

Occasionally, Cotton Sky Lab may feature:

• Sponsored articles

• Brand collaborations

• Gifted products

• Promotional campaigns or partnerships

When content is part of a commercial relationship, it will be clearly identified as advertising or sponsored content.

Labels used may include:

• Sponsored

• Advertisement

• Partner Content

• Paid Collaboration

This approach follows advertising guidance that promotional material must be clearly and obviously identifiable as advertising.

​

FTC Disclosure (Material Connection)

​

In accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, when a website has a material connection with a product, service, or brand mentioned in its content, that relationship should be disclosed clearly and conspicuously.

Material connections may include, but are not limited to:

• Affiliate commissions

• Paid placements

• Sponsored partnerships

• Free or gifted products

Cotton Sky Lab aims to disclose these relationships whenever they exist so that readers can make informed decisions.

​

Content Philosophy

​

Cotton Sky Lab is designed as a creative discovery space, not a traditional review platform or retail store.

Content on the website may include:

• internet discoveries

• interesting products

• creative recommendations

• cultural trends and curiosities

The purpose of the site is to share things we find interesting, fun, or worth exploring, especially for readers who enjoy discovering unexpected things online.

Readers should treat the content on this site as inspiration and discovery rather than professional advice.
