Introduction

Welcome to Favstheme! Our mission is to provide high-quality digital resources, including WordPress themes, WordPress plugins, Envato templates, Shopify themes, and other CMS themes for free. Transparency and trust are paramount to us, and we believe it is essential to inform our users about our affiliate relationships and how they influence our content and business operations.

This Affiliate Disclosure page is intended to provide comprehensive information about our affiliate practices, ensuring that you, our valued users, understand how we earn money through affiliate partnerships and how these relationships affect the content and resources we provide on our website.

What is an Affiliate Program?

An affiliate program is a marketing arrangement in which an online retailer pays a commission to an external website for traffic or sales generated from its referrals. When you click on an affiliate link on Favstheme and make a purchase or perform a specific action (such as signing up for a service), we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We are committed to maintaining transparency in all our operations, including our participation in affiliate programs. Here is a detailed overview of how we integrate affiliate marketing into our business model and how it benefits you:

1. Clear Identification of Affiliate Links: We clearly identify affiliate links within our content. You will see disclosures at the beginning of blog posts, reviews, and pages where affiliate links are present. This ensures that you are aware of our potential earnings from your actions.

2. Honest and Unbiased Reviews: Our reviews and recommendations are based on thorough research and personal experience. We provide honest, unbiased opinions about the products and services we promote. Our primary goal is to offer valuable information to help you make informed decisions.

3. Editorial Independence: Our content team operates independently from our affiliate partnerships. While we may receive compensation through affiliate links, our content is not influenced by these relationships. We prioritize providing accurate and useful information over promoting products for monetary gain.

4. Disclosure Statements: We include disclosure statements on relevant pages and posts, ensuring that you are always informed about the presence of affiliate links. These statements are designed to be clear and concise, following industry standards and guidelines.

Types of Affiliate Relationships

Favstheme participates in various types of affiliate programs, which can be categorized as follows:

1. Direct Affiliate Programs: We partner directly with companies that offer affiliate programs. These relationships allow us to promote their products and services through unique affiliate links. Examples include WordPress theme and plugin providers, Envato template sellers, and Shopify theme developers.

2. Affiliate Networks: We also work with affiliate networks, which act as intermediaries between us and multiple companies offering affiliate programs. Affiliate networks provide a centralized platform for managing and tracking affiliate relationships. Examples of popular affiliate networks we may use include ShareASale, Commission Junction (CJ), and Awin.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click on an affiliate link on Favstheme, a cookie is placed in your web browser. This cookie tracks your actions and attributes any qualifying purchases or actions to our affiliate account. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of the process:

1. Click on the Affiliate Link: You click on an affiliate link on our website. This link contains a unique tracking code that identifies Favstheme as the referring source.

2. Redirection to the Merchant’s Website: You are redirected to the merchant’s website through the affiliate link. The tracking code is embedded in the URL.

3. Tracking the Action: The cookie placed in your browser tracks your actions on the merchant’s website. If you make a purchase or perform a specific action (such as signing up for a service), the merchant’s system records the referral from Favstheme.

4. Commission Earned: The merchant verifies the action and attributes the commission to our affiliate account. We earn a commission based on the terms of the affiliate program.
