1. Introduction
At Bricks vs Blocks, transparency and trust are important to us.
This page explains how we may earn commissions through affiliate links and how those links work.
We believe in honest opinions, genuine recommendations, and full disclosure about any potential compensation our site receives.
2. What Are Affiliate Links?
Some of the links on this website are affiliate links.
This means that if you click on a product link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer — at no additional cost to you.
These links help support the cost of running Bricks vs Blocks, including hosting, research, photography, and content creation.
3. Current Status
At this time, Bricks vs Blocks does not actively participate in any affiliate program.
However, we plan to join select affiliate networks in the future, such as:
- Amazon Associates
- LEGO Affiliate Program (via Impact or Rakuten)
- Target Partners Program
Once these partnerships are active, affiliate links will appear throughout the site and this page will be updated to reflect that change.
4. How Affiliate Links Work
When you click on an affiliate link:
- A cookie may be placed on your browser by the retailer to track your purchase.
- If you make a qualifying purchase within that retailer’s cookie window (typically 24 hours to 30 days), Bricks vs Blocks may receive a small commission.
These cookies do not give us access to your personal data or browsing history.
They are managed by the retailer’s systems only.
5. Our Promise to You
- We only recommend products or sets we genuinely believe are worth your time and money.
- Our opinions and reviews are independent — affiliate partnerships do not influence our recommendations.
- We clearly mark any affiliate links or sponsored content whenever applicable.
Our priority is to help LEGO fans make informed decisions — not to promote products we don’t trust.
6. Participating Retailers (Planned or Future)
When active, Bricks vs Blocks may include affiliate links from:
- Amazon.com
- LEGO.com
- Target.com
- Other authorized retailers related to LEGO sets, accessories, and collectibles.
We do not partner with unofficial resellers or third-party marketplaces that don’t align with LEGO’s brand standards.
7. Legal Compliance
We comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR, Part 255).
This means that every page containing affiliate links will include a clear, visible disclosure statement such as:
“As an affiliate of Amazon, LEGO, and other retailers, I may earn commissions from qualifying purchases.”
You will never have to guess whether a link is an affiliate link — it will always be clearly identified.
8. No Impact on Price
Clicking on or purchasing through an affiliate link does not change the price you pay as a customer.
Retailers pay a small referral fee to us out of their own marketing budget — it’s their way of thanking sites that send them customers.
