Affiliate and Advertising Policy
This Affiliate and Advertising Policy explains how Gentle Grub — a resource focused on gentle, easy-to-eat foods and drinks recommended after wisdom teeth removal, extractions, braces adjustments, and other dental procedures — uses affiliate links and third-party advertisements to support the site’s operation and upkeep.
1. Purpose of This Policy
Gentle Grub is committed to honesty and transparency with our readers. This policy explains how we use affiliate links and display advertisements, and how those practices may affect your experience on our site so you can make informed choices when following our recommendations for soft diets, recovery blends, and other post-dental nutrition resources.
2. Affiliate Links Disclosure
What are Affiliate Links?
Gentle Grub may participate in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we sometimes include special tracking links (affiliate links) in our posts and product lists. If you click one of these links and make a purchase or complete a qualifying action, we may earn a commission or other compensation at no extra cost to you.
Our Use of Affiliate Links
We only promote products, tools, and services that we believe are helpful for recovery and safe for people following soft-food or liquid diets (for example, blenders, protein powders, soothing beverages, and meal-prep items). The presence of an affiliate link does not change our editorial judgment — our reviews and recommendations reflect our independent research and experience.
Your Responsibility
You are never required to use our affiliate links. The decision to purchase any product or service is entirely yours, and you are free to buy directly from retailers without using our links.
Affiliate Programs
We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Gentle Grub may also participate in other affiliate programs and partnerships from time to time.
3. Advertising Disclosure
Third-Party Ads
Gentle Grub may display third-party advertisements through advertising networks such as Google AdSense. These ads help support the site and may be tailored to your interests using standard web technologies.
How Advertising Works
Ads you see are typically labeled as “Ads by Google” or similar. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies and other tracking technologies to serve ads based on your past visits to our site or other sites on the web.
Your Choices Regarding Advertising
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting your Google Ads Settings page (https://adssettings.google.com/). To opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising, visit www.aboutads.info.
4. Sponsored Content & Paid Reviews
Occasionally, Gentle Grub may publish sponsored content, paid reviews, or other content created in collaboration with brands. We are committed to clear and conspicuous disclosure of any compensated content.
Content created in partnership with a sponsor, or for which we receive monetary or in-kind compensation, will be clearly labeled with disclosures such as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” “In partnership with [Brand Name],” or similar language at the beginning of the piece.
Our editorial independence remains a priority. Even in sponsored posts, we will share our honest opinions and findings so readers can trust our recommendations for recovery-friendly foods and products.
5. No Professional Advice
The information on Gentle Grub, including product recommendations and meal suggestions, is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical or dental advice. Always consult with a qualified healthcare or dental professional before making decisions about your diet or treatment after dental procedures.
