Affiliate disclosure

AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

Plain and short: some links on this website may earn us a commission. It never costs you more and it never decides what we recommend.

Last updated: August 2026

WHAT AN AFFILIATE LINK IS

An affiliate link is a link to another company's product or service that tells them you came from The Recovery Diary. If you then sign up or buy something, that company may pay us a small commission.

The price you pay is exactly the same as it would be if you went to them directly. You never pay extra for using our link.

WHERE THIS APPLIES

Some links on this website may be affiliate links. Many are not: most of the links here point to public bodies, non profit organisations and free support services, and those are never paid placements.

Wherever an affiliate link is used, a short notice appears near it so you know before you click.

AFFILIATE PROGRAMMES ARE NOT ACTIVE YET

This disclosure is published in advance so it is in place from the first day it is needed. At the time of writing, The Recovery Diary is an independent, non commercial project and no affiliate programmes are running. This page applies whenever affiliate links are used.

NEVER GAMBLING

We will never accept affiliate income, advertising or sponsorship from casinos, bookmakers, betting platforms, gambling apps or gambling affiliate networks. There is no amount of money that changes this.

HOW WE CHOOSE WHAT TO MENTION

Anything we point to has to be useful for someone rebuilding their money, habits or focus. A commission is never the reason something is mentioned, and we do not remove or soften honest criticism because a company pays a commission.

A mention is not professional advice or a guarantee of results. Check whether something fits your own situation, and read the other company's terms before you commit to anything.

NO TRACKING ON THIS SITE

This website does not run advertising cookies, tracking pixels or third party analytics, and we do not set affiliate tracking cookies ourselves. If a third party sets a cookie after you click through to their website, that happens under their own policy, on their own site.

If that ever changes here, this page and the privacy policy will be updated before it goes live.

QUESTIONS

If anything on this page is unclear, or you want to know whether a specific link is an affiliate link, ask us through the contact form on our Contact page or by email at info@therecoverydiary.com.

This disclosure is written in plain language for a free self-help website. It is not legal advice.
