Affiliate Links
Blog Posts and Product Pages on this site may occasionally contain affiliate links and will (in most cases) be noted as such. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, I’ll receive a small portion of the price of the product, but you will not pay any more for that product than you would have without purchasing through my affiliate link. Companies offer affiliate programs to drive traffic to their websites and encourage sales. Not all links on my site are affiliate; I only recommend products I believe in, regardless of their affiliate status.

Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
Paid Placements
I may choose to accept payment for paid placements from select companies whose products, values, and missions complement those of the bodhi bar.

Marketing email subscribers may opt out at any time via the unsubscribe link in the footer of the emails. We will never sell or rent your email address or any other information to third parties.

Cookies
This website uses cookies to store visitors’ preferences, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, customize content based on visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends. Cookies may also be used by third-party services, such as Google Analytics, as described previously.
You may prevent the setting of cookies by using a corresponding setting of your Internet browser and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. However, if users deactivate the setting of cookies in your Internet browser, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
