How We Keep Simpleafy Recipes Free
Simpleafy Recipes is a free resource for gluten-free recipes, tips, and guides. We want to keep it that way — no subscriptions, no paywalls, just great recipes you can trust.
To support the time, testing, and research that goes into every recipe, we use a few methods to earn income. This page explains exactly how that works, because we believe in full transparency with our readers.
Affiliate Links
Some of the links on Simpleafy Recipes are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
We only recommend products, ingredients, and kitchen tools that we personally use, have tested, or genuinely believe will help you cook better gluten-free meals. We will never recommend a product just because it pays a commission.
Our affiliate relationships may include:
- Amazon Associates Program
- Gluten-free food brands and specialty ingredient companies
- Kitchen tools and appliance manufacturers
- Cookbook publishers
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
Display Advertising
We display ads on our site through advertising networks. These ads help cover the costs of running Simpleafy Recipes, including hosting, food photography, recipe testing ingredients, and recipe development time.
We work to ensure that ads do not interfere with your ability to read and enjoy our recipes. If you ever experience an intrusive ad, please let us know.
Sponsored Content
From time to time, we may partner with brands to create sponsored recipes or content. When we do, we will always clearly label that content as sponsored.
We only accept sponsorships from brands whose products align with our values: gluten-free, high quality, and something we would genuinely use in our own kitchen. We maintain full editorial control over all sponsored content — the recipe, the words, and the opinions are always our own.
Our Promise to You
Regardless of how content is monetized, our editorial standards never change:
- Every recipe is tested. We develop and test every recipe in our own kitchens before publishing.
- Honest opinions only. If we recommend a product, it is because we genuinely use it — not because of a financial relationship.
- Transparency always. Affiliate links and sponsored content will always be disclosed.
- Your trust comes first. We would rather lose a commission than recommend something we do not believe in.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255).
