Disclaimer / Privacy Policy

Wonder Forest contains some affiliate links. This means if you click on an affiliate link through to a retailer and purchase something, I may receive a very small amount or percentage of your purchase. This does not add any additional cost to you, the consumer. Adding affiliate links into a post occurs after a review/opinion on the product has already been formed.

This blog accepts paid advertising to help keep it running, as well as complimentary products for review. All complimentary products have been exclusively chosen by myself and will always be disclosed as “c/o” in the post. I never review products that I wouldn’t personally wear/buy/like and am not influenced by compensation. The views and opinions shared on this blog that have been written by me are entirely my own.

If you require any more information or have any questions about our privacy policy, please feel free to contact us by email at contact<at>thewonderforest(dot)com.

At www.thewonderforest.com, the privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us. This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information is received and collected by www.thewonderforest.com and how it is used.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
