Affiliate Disclosure

Some of the links on this website are affiliate links, primarily through programs such as Amazon Associates. This means that if you click on a link and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a small commission – at no additional cost to you.

These affiliate links help support the ongoing operation of cozyeveryday.com. We only recommend products we genuinely believe in and would use ourselves.

Affiliate programs may track clicks and conversions through cookies or unique identifiers, but do not provide us with personal information about you (e.g., your name or purchase details).

This site 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.
