Disclosure

I’m all for honesty. Harlow and Thistle will always disclose sponsored or affiliate posts and links.

*this means I will never offer paid do follow links*

Harlow and Thistle may receive revenue through ads, sponsored posts, or affiliate links to help subsidize the costs of running a blog. Anything I share on Lemon Thistle (paid or not) I truly use and love. Pinky swear. See more on advertising below.

Comments

Please play nice. I love your comments and feedback SO much, I could never do this without all your support, encouragement, and suggestions. Please know that I reserve the right to remove any comments I find to be hurtful to myself or others.

Email Newsletters & Can Spam Laws

I comply with Can Spam laws, if you’re getting email from me you’ve opted in while visiting the blog, and then confirmed you’d like to be receiving mail (double opt-in). You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of your email.

On the Website, you may subscribe to our newsletter, which may be used for advertising purposes (I sell some pretty rad products, if you haven’t spotted them yet!). All newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and allows an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Because of these tracking pixels, we may see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. Also, this allows the Website to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user- making them better for you! This behavior will not be passed on to third parties.

Use of “Cookies”

Harlow and Thistle uses “cookies” – data that is transferred from Harlow and Thistle to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your password so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit Harlow and Thistle. The Website uses cookies to store visitors’ preferences, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, customize Website content based on visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends. Cookies may also be used by third-party services, such as Google Analytics, as described herein.

Users may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies, by the Website, by using a corresponding setting of your internet browser and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. However, if users deactivate the setting of cookies in your Internet browser, not all functions of our Website may be entirely usable.

Harlow and Thistle uses web beacon tracking and scripts from third party suppliers which, on behalf of Harlow and Thistle collects information about how website visitors use and communicate with the website. This way we can see how we acquire web traffic, which parts of the website that are most used and which links visitors click most. We use this information to further improve and develop the content of our website and our digital advertising. *Think Google Analytics*

Affiliate Program Participation

The Website may engage in affiliate marketing, which is done by embedding tracking links into the Website. If you click on a link for an affiliate partnership, a cookie will be placed on your browser to track any sales for purposes of commissions. Basically, if it’s something I would normally share with you (or that I’ve been asked about- hey, where’s that lamp from? What craft glue do you use?), if I can link through an affiliate program and earn a small incentive, I will do that.

Harlow and Thistle 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 links to Amazon.com.  As part of this Amazon Associates program, the Website will post customized links, provided by Amazon, to track the referrals to their website. This program utilizes cookies to track visits for the purposes of assigning commission on these sales.
