Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: October 3, 2026

MacedoniaTOP believes readers should understand how this website is funded and when a commercial relationship may exist. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how affiliate links, booking widgets, advertising, sponsored content and other commercial partnerships may appear on MacedoniaTOP.com (the “Site”).

1. What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a link containing tracking information that identifies MacedoniaTOP as the referring website. When you follow an affiliate link and complete an eligible booking or purchase with the third-party provider, that provider may pay us a commission.

Affiliate tracking may also be used in buttons, availability calendars, activity cards, comparison tables, booking widgets and internal redirect links. For example, an affiliate link may first pass through a MacedoniaTOP URL before taking you to the booking provider.

You are not required to use our affiliate links. You can visit a provider directly if you prefer.

2. Our Current Affiliate Relationship

MacedoniaTOP currently participates in the GetYourGuide affiliate partner programme. Some destination guides, tour articles and activity recommendations contain GetYourGuide links or widgets through which readers can view availability, compare experiences or continue to the GetYourGuide platform.

If MacedoniaTOP begins working with additional affiliate networks or booking providers, this disclosure may be updated. The presence of a link to a third-party website does not automatically mean that it is an affiliate link.

3. What an Affiliate Commission Means for You

When you make a qualifying booking through an affiliate link:

• MacedoniaTOP may receive a commission from the provider;
• the price you pay will normally be the same as if you had visited the provider directly;
• your booking contract is with the provider or activity supplier, not MacedoniaTOP; and
• the provider controls payment, confirmation, cancellation, refund and customer-support procedures.

Affiliate income helps support the costs of researching, maintaining, translating and updating our travel guides and keeping most MacedoniaTOP content available without a subscription.

4. How We Choose What to Recommend

Commercial availability is not the only factor considered when we select activities, tours, destinations or services to mention. Depending on the article, we may consider:

• relevance to the destination and the reader’s likely travel plans;
• route, duration, inclusions, meeting point and practical convenience;
• publicly available traveller feedback and provider information;
• seasonal suitability, availability and traveller type;
• whether the activity adds something useful to the guide; and
• our local knowledge, research or first-hand experience where applicable.

An affiliate relationship does not guarantee inclusion, a positive recommendation or a particular position within an article. We aim to recommend options that are relevant and useful to readers, but individual preferences and experiences can differ.

5. First-Hand Experience and Research

Not every tour, activity, accommodation or service linked from MacedoniaTOP has been personally purchased or experienced by our team. Some recommendations are based on destination research, provider information, public customer feedback, route details and the practical needs of travellers.

When an article is based on a personal visit, hosted experience or direct collaboration, we aim to describe that context clearly. We do not claim personal experience where none exists.

6. Editorial Independence

MacedoniaTOP retains editorial control over its guides, opinions, comparisons and recommendations. A commission, advertising relationship, complimentary experience or sponsored collaboration does not entitle a partner to:

• approve our final conclusions;
• remove reasonable criticism;
• guarantee positive coverage;
• prevent factual corrections; or
• purchase an undisclosed editorial recommendation.

We may update or remove a recommendation when information changes, a service becomes unavailable or the option is no longer useful to readers.

7. Sponsored Content, Complimentary Experiences and Partnerships

From time to time, MacedoniaTOP may publish content connected with a paid campaign, hosted trip, complimentary ticket, free product, press visit or other material benefit. When a relationship has influenced the creation of specific content, we aim to disclose it clearly on that page using wording such as “Sponsored,” “Paid partnership,” “Hosted experience,” or another plain-language explanation.

Sponsored content is different from ordinary affiliate content. Affiliate compensation is generally earned only after a reader takes a qualifying action, while sponsored content may involve payment or another benefit for producing or featuring content.

Providing a complimentary experience or payment does not guarantee favourable coverage. We do not accept arrangements that require us to publish misleading claims or conceal a material commercial relationship.

8. Display Advertising

MacedoniaTOP may display advertisements through services such as Google AdSense. Display advertisements are separate from our editorial recommendations and affiliate links. An advertisement appearing beside an article does not mean that MacedoniaTOP has personally tested, selected or endorsed the advertised product or service.

Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies subject to applicable consent requirements. More information is available in our Privacy Policy and through the privacy or cookie settings available on the Site.

9. Bookings, Prices and Third-Party Terms

MacedoniaTOP is a travel information publisher and referral partner. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we are not the tour operator, travel agency, accommodation provider, transport company or merchant processing your booking.

Prices, availability, schedules, meeting points, inclusions, age limits, accessibility details, cancellation terms and other conditions can change. Information shown on MacedoniaTOP or in a third-party widget may not always update at the same time. Before paying, review the current details, policies and total price displayed by the booking provider.

If you need to change or cancel a booking, request a refund, correct traveller details or resolve a payment issue, contact the company named in your booking confirmation. MacedoniaTOP normally cannot access or modify a third-party booking.

10. Affiliate Tracking and Privacy

Affiliate providers may use cookies, pixels, referral parameters or similar technologies to recognise that a visitor arrived from MacedoniaTOP and to attribute an eligible booking. Information may include technical and interaction data such as an IP address, browser or device information, the referring page, campaign identifiers, links clicked and the time of a referral.

For details about the information processed through the Site, consent choices and your privacy rights, please read our Privacy Policy. A third-party provider’s own privacy policy applies after you visit or use its platform.

11. How Affiliate Content Is Identified

We aim to place a short disclosure near the beginning of an article or before the first affiliate recommendation where readers are likely to notice it. Affiliate buttons and links may also use labels such as “Check availability,” “View activities,” “Book now,” or “Affiliate link.”

This Site-wide Affiliate Disclosure provides additional detail, but it does not replace a clear disclosure on content containing affiliate recommendations.

12. Corrections and Questions

If you believe that a commercial relationship has not been disclosed clearly, an affiliate link is broken or a recommendation contains inaccurate information, please contact us. We welcome reasonable corrections and transparency questions.
