Effective Date:10/7/2025
We aim to offer the best user experience and demonstrate how we promote and advertise affiliate content on our website. This Affiliate and Advertising Policy outlines the ways in which we incorporate affiliate marketing and advertising networks on our website and how your personal information may be processed.
By visiting the www.mrbalaclava.com website (the “Site”), you consent to the practices mentioned in this policy. If you disagree, please do not use our website.
1. Affiliate Marketing
1.1 What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing enables Mr. Balaclava to receive commissions from third-party affiliates for promoting their items or services on our Site. If you press an affiliate link and complete a purchase or a designated action, we may receive a commission or other compensation from the affiliate. This is at no cost to you.
1.2 Affiliate Links and Banners
You may encounter affiliate links and banners on the Site which connect to other sites. Each link includes an affiliate ID which enables tracking referrals. When you click on these links and buy the goods and services listed, you are assisting Mr. Balaclava. We receive commissions for referrals.
These links are sourced from our third-party affiliate partners. We aim to work with trusted partners and affiliates whose products work with our customers’ interests and values. That said, the content, service terms, and practices of third-party sites, including content and privacy policies, are beyond our control.
2. Advertising Networks
2.1 Third-Party Advertising
Beyond affiliate marketing, third-party advertising services, including but not limited to Google AdSense, are used to serve ads on our site. These services may implement cookies or similar tracking methods to gather information about your interactions on our Site and other sites to serve you more relevant ads.
The companies offering such ads analyze your browsing habits to tailor these ads to your interests. These habits include the pages you check out or the items you wish to purchase. Adjust your preferences to avoid receiving personalized ads; this can be done in the settings of the respective third-party service.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
3.1 How Cookies Are Used in Advertising
The third-party advertising networks set cookies to display personalized ads. These are small files placed on your device to record your interactions with an ad and help the advertisers gauge the performance of the ad.
To explain further, Google AdSense employs DoubleClick cookies to stalk users and monitor their movements on different sites, which helps serve the ads based on the interests users have shown.
3.2 Opting Out of Advertising Cookies
If you do not want personalized ads based on your browsing history, you can opt out of advertising cookies. There are various ways to manage or opt out of personalized advertising, such as through:
- Google Ads Settings: You can set your preferences to manage your ads and opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): If you wish to opt out of targeted advertising by members of the NAI, you may go to the NAI opt-out page to do so.
Remember, even if you opt out of personalized advertising, you will still see ads on the internet, just less relevant to you.
4. Data Privacy in Advertising
4.1 Data Collection
When you click affiliate links or see third-party ads on our web page, third-party advertisers and affiliates can collect the following data:
- Your IP address
- Your browsing history (pages you visit, products you view)
- Your Device information (type, operating system)
- Your geo-location data (if switched on)
This data enables your advertising partners to serve targeted ads based on user preferences and browsing behavior. Mr. Balaclava does not directly share personal data with these third-party partners, although they can use this information to serve relevant ads.
4.2 GDPR Compliance
Residents of the EU and EEA member states have consent-related rights regarding cookies and advertising tracking. According to the GDPR, advertising cookies cannot be placed without consent, and consent must be provided BY YOU to be governed BY YOU.
5. Affiliate and Advertising Earnings
5.1 Affiliate Commissions
Through affiliate marketing on our Site, we promote offers on third-party sites and may earn commissions when you purchase products or take certain actions. These commissions, however, do not impact the total cost of the services or products.
Affiliate commissions cover the operational and content-related costs of our Site.
5.2 Advertising Revenue
We also generate revenue by displaying third-party ads and using advertising networks such as Google AdSense. Cookies may be used by ad networks to serve relevant ads to you. Cookies may be used to track your ad engagement on our Site and other sites you visit.
We work hard to make sure the ads shown on our Site are useful and of good quality. However, this does not mean that we support or ensure the quality of the products or services that are advertised.
6. Third-Party Policies
6.1 External Links
Our Site may have links to third-party websites that are not controlled by Mr. Balaclava. Those third-party websites may have their own terms and conditions, privacy policies and advertising policies that are different from ours.
By clicking on an affiliate link or a third-party advertisement, you understand that you are leaving the Mr. Balaclava website, and we are not responsible for the content, privacy policy, or any practice of those third-party websites.
6.2 Third-Party Advertising Networks
Third-party ad networks, such as Google AdSense that display ads on our Site, may track your interactions with their ads, and this information may be used for targeted advertising. If you want to control your advertising preferences, we suggest reviewing their privacy policy and any opt-out mechanisms.
