Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 15, 2025
Full Disclosure
StoryOrder.co is a participant 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.
What This Means For You
When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps us maintain and improve StoryOrder.co, keeping it free for all users.
How Affiliate Links Work
Here's what happens when you use our affiliate links:
- You click a book link: When you click on a "Buy on Amazon" button or book cover link, you're directed to Amazon through our affiliate link.
- Amazon tracks your visit: Amazon knows you came from StoryOrder.co and tracks your shopping session for 24 hours.
- You make a purchase: If you buy anything during that session (not just the book you clicked on), we earn a small commission.
- Your price stays the same: You pay the exact same price whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.
Our Commitment to Honest Recommendations
We want to be completely transparent about our affiliate relationships:
- No bias in reading orders: Book series reading orders are based on publication dates, chronological order, or author recommendations—never influenced by commissions.
- All retailers welcome: While we provide Amazon links for convenience, you're always free to purchase books from any retailer you prefer.
- Quality first: We only list legitimate book series and verified reading orders, regardless of earning potential.
- User experience priority: Our primary goal is helping you read series in the right order, not maximizing affiliate revenue.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Affiliate commissions help us:
- Keep StoryOrder.co free for all users
- Maintain and update our database of book series
- Develop new features and improvements
- Cover hosting and operational costs
- Research and add new book series
Your Privacy and Affiliate Links
When you click on an affiliate link, Amazon may collect information about your browsing and purchasing behavior according to their privacy policy. We do not have access to your Amazon account information or purchase history. We only receive aggregated reports about items purchased through our links.
Other Affiliate Programs
Currently, we only participate in the Amazon Associates Program. If we add other affiliate partnerships in the future, we will update this disclosure accordingly. Any new partnerships will be chosen based on their value to our users, not just commission rates.
