5. Affiliate Links & Affiliate Programs
Nine9Eight may apply to and participate in affiliate marketing programs (for example, Amazon Associates, AliExpress, and other affiliate networks). At this time, we are in the process of applying and may not yet use affiliate links.
If and when affiliate links are added to the Site, this means we may earn a commission if you click a link and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. We will make reasonable efforts to clearly disclose affiliate relationships where applicable (for example, on relevant pages/posts and/or near product links).
When you click an affiliate link, you will be redirected to a third-party website. Those third parties may use cookies or similar technologies under their own privacy policies to track purchases and attribute commissions. We do not use cookies on this Site for analytics, advertising, or tracking.

We do not use cookies or similar technologies for analytics, advertising, or tracking on this Site. Our web hosting provider may process limited technical information (such as IP address and browser details) in server logs for security and to keep the Site running reliably.

7. Social Media (Pinterest, Instagram) & Embedded Content
Our Site may include embedded posts, videos, images, or buttons from third-party platforms (for example, Instagram and Pinterest). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those websites directly.
