Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: April 11, 2026

Transparency is Our Priority

The Irish Times values transparency and editorial integrity. This page explains how Irish Times Discounts operates and how we generate revenue.

How We Make Money

Irish Times Discounts participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click on a discount code or deal and make a purchase from a retailer, we may earn a commission. This commission comes from the retailer, not from you, and never affects the price you pay.

Our Editorial Independence

While we earn commission from affiliate partnerships, this does not influence our editorial decisions. Our team independently selects and verifies every discount code based on:

  • Genuine value to Irish consumers
  • Retailer reputation and trustworthiness
  • Offer validity and terms
  • Product quality and customer service

We maintain the same editorial standards as The Irish Times. Commission rates do not determine which offers we feature or how prominently they're displayed.

Affiliate Partners

We work with numerous retailers and affiliate networks, including but not limited to:

  • Individual brand affiliate programs
  • Affiliate marketing networks
  • Commission-based partnership platforms

Your Privacy

When you click on an affiliate link, you may be redirected through our tracking system to record the referral. This process:

  • Does not collect personally identifiable information
  • Happens in milliseconds with no noticeable delay
  • Is necessary for us to receive credit for the referral
  • Complies with all applicable data protection regulations

For more details about how we handle data, please review our Privacy Policy.

Accuracy and Updates

We strive to keep all discount codes and deals current and accurate. However:

  • Retailers may change or expire offers without notice
  • Some codes may have restrictions we're unaware of
  • Pricing and availability can change rapidly

We update our offers regularly and encourage users to check the retailer's website for current terms and conditions.

Questions About This Policy

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or this disclosure, please contact us. We're committed to transparency and happy to address any concerns.

Consumer Protection Compliance

This disclosure complies with the FTC's guidelines on affiliate marketing, EU consumer protection directives, and Irish advertising standards. We believe in maintaining the highest standards of transparency with our readers.
