Affiliate Disclosure
Some of the links on ayatulkursi.org/ are "affiliate links". This page explains what that means, how it affects you, and how we keep our recommendations honest.
1. What Is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a special URL that lets a retailer track when a customer arrived via our site. If you click the link and buy something, the retailer pays us a small commission at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is identical to what you would pay going to the retailer directly.
2. Programmes We Participate In
- Amazon Associates — "ayatulkursi.org/ is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com (and its international storefronts including Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.ae, Amazon.in)." Required FTC disclosure.
- Occasionally, other reputable programmes (e.g., Islamic book publishers and Qur’anic resource retailers). Any such link will carry the same disclosure standard.
3. How to Identify an Affiliate Link
Affiliate links are marked in one or more of these ways:
- An on-page note — for example “Buy on Amazon (affiliate link)”.
- The attribute
rel="sponsored"on the anchor tag (readable in HTML source). - A tracking parameter in the URL — e.g.,
?tag=…for Amazon.
4. Editorial Independence
We only link to products we would recommend with or without a commission. Specifically:
- No retailer or brand previews or approves our articles.
- Commission rates do not influence ranking or recommendation.
- We do not accept paid “review” arrangements or undisclosed sponsorship.
- If a product we recommended becomes unavailable or quality drops, we update or remove the link.
Our full standards are in the Editorial Policy.
5. Why We Use Affiliate Links
Affiliate commissions are one of three ways we fund the Site (the others are display ads and voluntary sadaqah). They let us keep content free for readers who cannot pay.
6. Privacy & Cookies
When you click an affiliate link, the destination retailer sets its own cookie so the referral can be attributed. That retailer — not us — processes any purchase data. Details are in the retailer’s privacy policy; for Amazon, see the Amazon Privacy Notice. Our own cookie practices are in the Cookie Policy.
7. Regional Notes
- EU / EEA: affiliate links do not collect your personal data on our side; they pass referral attribution via a cookie set by the retailer. Your rights under the GDPR apply.
- UK: disclosure complies with CAP Code and ASA guidance on affiliate marketing.
- US: disclosure complies with FTC “16 CFR Part 255” endorsement guides.
