This Disclosure Policy explains how compensation, sponsorships, affiliate partnerships, gifted products, and advertising relationships appear and function on Once Upon a Cheerio (the “Site”). Transparency with my readers is important to me, and I want you to understand how content is created and how the Site earns income.
General Disclosure
This blog is written and edited by me, Juli Anne, owner and creator of Once Upon a Cheerio. The views and opinions expressed on the Site are entirely my own based on my personal experience, skills, and knowledge.
I may receive compensation for content on the Site, including sponsorships, affiliate commissions, and advertising revenue. Even when compensation is received, I always give honest opinions, findings, and experiences. I would never promote or recommend something I do not genuinely use or believe in.
Sponsored Content & Collaborations
At times, I partner with brands or companies to create content such as blog posts, social media posts, or video tutorials. When compensation or products are provided in exchange for coverage, the content will always be clearly disclosed as sponsored, in partnership with [Brand], or similarly labeled.
Sponsored content does not influence my opinions. All views are my own.
Affiliate Links
Some posts on the Site contain affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you if you click a link or make a purchase through it. These affiliate relationships help support the cost of running the Site.
I only recommend products or services I personally use, trust, or believe will be genuinely helpful to readers.
Common affiliate partners may include Amazon, craft supply retailers, yarn companies, and other crochet-related brands.
A disclosure statement may appear at the beginning or end of posts that include affiliate links.
Advertising & Cookies
The Site displays third-party ads through Raptive, which may use cookies, pixels, or similar tracking technologies to deliver personalized or interest-based advertising.
Advertising partners may collect anonymized data about your browsing behavior. For details about data collection, cookies, and how to opt out, please see my Privacy Policy.
Gifted Products / PR Items
Sometimes brands send me products for consideration. Receiving a product does not guarantee a feature or positive review. If I choose to share it, I will disclose that the item was gifted, provided for review, or similar.
All opinions remain my own.
Pattern and Content Use
All crochet patterns, tutorials, photos, and content on the Site are for personal use only unless otherwise stated.
You may:
- Use my patterns for personal projects
- Sell small quantities of finished items made from my patterns (with credit given to “Juli Anne of Once Upon a Cheerio”)
You may not:
- Repost, republish, or distribute my patterns or tutorials
- Claim my content as your own
- Use my content for commercial or mass-production purposes
For full details, please refer to my Terms & Conditions page.
Accuracy of Information
I strive to provide complete, accurate, and helpful information. However, patterns, tutorials, and craft techniques can vary based on skill level, materials, and tools. I cannot guarantee that every pattern or tutorial will work the same for every user.
For more details on limitations and disclaimers, please review the Terms & Conditions.
FTC Compliance
I follow the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines requiring clear disclosure of paid relationships, affiliate links, and sponsored content. Disclosures are placed where readers can easily see them and understand how compensation is involved.
