How We Make Money

We believe in being honest and transparent.

Vanellylife

In order to keep Vanellylife free, we generate income by displaying advertising, taking part in affiliate programs, and partner with advertisers and companies that share our vision.

Vanellylife may include sponsored blog posts for products or services. Those recommendations and related information are based on our own research, our own experience and honest opinions, reflecting essentially valuable products and services that we used in the past.

The goal of this website is to bring you information about how to take back control of your lives, be your true selves and move towards your dream lifestyle.

The use of our information, products and services should be based on your own due diligence and you agree that Vanellylife.com and the advertisers/sponsors of this website are not liable for any purchase decisions that are directly or indirectly related to the information, products and services reviewed or advertised on this website.

Display Ads

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use cookies, as noted above. See below for more information about Google Adsense.

Retargeting Ads

From time to time, the Website may engage in remarketing efforts with third-party companies, such as Google, Facebook, or Instagram, in order to market the Website. These companies use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Website.

Affiliate Program Participation

With affiliate marketing, we embed tracking links into the Website. If you click on a link for an affiliate partnership, a cookie will be placed on your browser to track any sales for purposes of commissions. The commission we earn comes at no extra cost to you.

Also, this allows the Website to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user. This behavior will not be passed on to third parties.

Google Adsense

We publish Google Adsense interest-based advertisements on our website. These are tailored by Google to reflect your interests.
