Honesty, by default
Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: 2 June 2026
We'd rather you trust what you read here than wonder what's behind it. This page lays out, plainly, any way that money and advertising touch the things you see on the Hidden Tide Essence website.
Where a relationship exists, we tell you. Where one doesn't, we don't dress things up. Any compensated content is labelled in line with applicable advertising standards, including FTC guidance where it applies.
Affiliate relationships
- • We may take part in affiliate programs, where a qualifying purchase through a link can earn us a small commission.
- • Commission-based links never cost you more, and they never change which products we'd genuinely recommend.
- • Recommendations are made on merit first; a financial relationship is only ever a secondary factor.
- • Any such financial relationship is disclosed openly wherever it's relevant.
Sponsored content
- • Any paid content is clearly identified as such, so you always know what you're reading.
- • Sponsored posts carry a visible label rather than blending in with ordinary writing.
- • Brand partnerships are disclosed, and our honest view of a product stays our own.
- • We don't publish a positive opinion we don't hold, paid or otherwise.
Third-party advertising
- • Where display advertising networks are used, they may serve content based on broad, non-identifying signals.
- • Some behavioural targeting may occur through these networks, subject to your consent.
- • Cookies can be used for advertising — see our Cookie Policy for the full picture.
- • Ad personalisation only happens where you've allowed it through your preferences.
Your rights & controls
- • Manage preferences for advertising cookies any time on our Cookie Policy page.
- • Opt out of personalised advertising through those same controls or your browser settings.
- • Understand data use for advertising in our Privacy Policy.
- • Exercise your rights under the privacy regulations that apply to you by contacting us directly.
