How we earn
Affiliate Disclosure
There are no affiliate links on The Waterfall Guide today. We don't earn commissions from any link or widget on the site right now.
This page explains what would change if we add them, and how we would label them.
What could change
We may add affiliate partners later. The partners we have planned are:
- Stay22, for a map of hotels near the waterfall, shown on waterfall pages
- Tour and ticket partners, such as Viator
If we add these links and you book through one, we would earn a commission.
How paid links will be labeled
Each affiliate link or widget will be labeled right where it appears. We will use a short, plain label such as "Paid link" next to the link.
This is based on the FTC's guidance. The Federal Trade Commission says disclosures should be clear and conspicuous, and that "the closer the disclosure is to your recommendation, the better." It also says "a single disclosure on your home page won't be sufficient." This page is not a substitute for labels next to each link. See the FTC's Endorsement Guides FAQ.
Commissions never change the facts
Money will not shape what we publish:
- Commissions never change a fact, a fee, a permit rule or a status label.
- Commissions never decide which waterfalls are listed.
- No agency or operator pays to be listed.
Every fact still traces to a cited source. Read our editorial policy for the full rules.
Cookies from partners
Affiliate partners may set their own cookies when you use their links or widgets. Before any partner goes live, we will update our privacy policy to say so.
