A note from the kitchen.
Some of the links on sinderella.org go to Amazon. If you buy something after clicking one of them, Sinderella earns a small commission. The price you pay is the same. The commission keeps the candle lit, the website paid for, and the writing free.
The technical version (for the regulators)
sinderella.org 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.
Where the links live
- Every page in the Apothecary contains affiliate links to Amazon products.
- The Reading Room may include a "deck she'd reach for tonight" recommendation that is also an affiliate link.
- Long-form readings occasionally cross-link to specific products.
Every affiliate link on the site goes through /go/<product-id>/ on our domain, which redirects (302) to the Amazon URL with our tracking tag sinderellaorg-20. This lets us swap providers without breaking links and lets you see clearly that you're heading to Amazon.
How recommendations work here
Sinderella doesn't take paid placements. She doesn't get free product to review. She picks things she'd actually use, things she'd actually hand to a niece, things that fit the voice and the moment. If a brand pays us to feature them, we'll disclose it explicitly on that page — and that hasn't happened yet.
The Apothecary categories are real opinions: the decks she'd hand a niece, the candles she'd light for a friend who got dumped, the crystals she'd put on her own desk if she had a desk. Some of those items have alternatives we considered and didn't include. That's editorial judgment.
You're not paying more
Affiliate links on Amazon never increase the price of the product. The commission comes out of Amazon's margin, not yours. You're not subsidizing Sinderella by clicking — you're just making her a few cents on something you were going to buy anyway.
Other affiliate programs
We may add other affiliate programs over time (independent tarot publishers, candle brands, etc.). Each will be disclosed the same way: through the /go/ redirect path, and via inline disclosure on any page where it appears.
If you'd rather not
Don't click. The full Sinderella reading and all the writing on this site is free regardless of whether you ever buy anything. The Apothecary is a "if you were going to buy something anyway, here's what she likes" — not a paywall.
