dry.net.au/ may participate in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links to products or services and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This policy explains how affiliate relationships are managed on our site.
1. Purpose of affiliate links
- Support the site: Affiliate commissions help cover the costs of hosting, research, and maintaining educational and heritage resources.
- Curated relevance: We only link to products, services, or resources that are relevant to our audience—such as books, heritage guides, cemetery tours, archival tools, or memorial-related products.
- No influence on content: Editorial independence is maintained. Affiliate partnerships do not determine the topics we cover or the opinions expressed.
2. Transparency and disclosure
- Clear labelling: Affiliate links will be disclosed with a note such as: “This page contains affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.”
- Placement: Disclosures appear near the affiliate link itself, and/or at the top of the page where affiliate links are included.
- Consistency: All contributors and partners must follow this disclosure standard.
3. Selection of affiliate partners
- Relevance: Products or services must align with the themes of remembrance, heritage, genealogy, or respectful memorial practices.
- Reputation: We only partner with providers who demonstrate ethical business practices, cultural sensitivity, and compliance with Australian consumer law.
- Cultural care: We avoid partnerships that could trivialize grief, exploit vulnerable individuals, or disrespect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural protocols.
4. Limitations and exclusions
- No endorsement implied: Inclusion of an affiliate link does not mean we endorse the product or service beyond its relevance to our audience.
- No sensitive exploitation: We will not promote products that sensationalize death, grief, or heritage sites.
- No personal data sharing: Affiliate programs may use cookies to track purchases, but we do not share your personal information with affiliate partners.
5. Your choices
- Opt-out: You are not required to click on affiliate links. You can access the same products or services directly without using our links.
- Cookie control: You can disable cookies in your browser if you prefer not to have affiliate tracking applied.
6. Compliance and accountability
- Australian Consumer Law: We comply with disclosure requirements under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).
- International standards: Where relevant, we also align with guidelines such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) affiliate disclosure rules.
- Feedback: If you have concerns about an affiliate link or partnership, please contact us at admin@zazu.com.au.
7. Updates to this policy
We may update this Affiliate Relationships Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
