Affiliate disclosure
Effective 11 November 2026.
Short version: we intend to earn commission from some outbound links, we are not enrolled in any affiliate programme yet, and no link on this site is currently monetised.
Current status
| Programme | Status | What it would mean for you |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Associates | Not enrolled | Product links would carry a tracking tag; price unchanged |
| Alibaba.com affiliate | Not enrolled | Supplier links would carry a tracking parameter; price unchanged |
| Display advertising | None on the site | No ad scripts, no ad cookies |
| Sponsored posts | Not accepted | No paid placements, now or planned |
What changes when we do enroll
- Affiliate links will carry
rel="sponsored"and be labelled in the surrounding text. - This page will list every programme we have joined, with the date.
- The strip at the top of every page will describe the current position, not a hypothetical one.
What a commission would never change
Rankings, verdicts and pull-rate arithmetic. A maker cannot pay to have a ratio presented as better than it is, and no commission would make us publish odds a manufacturer has not published. If a product is wrong for the reader, the page says so whether or not there is a link to it.
How to tell
A link to a retailer or marketplace may be a plain editorial link or an affiliate link; where one is monetised it will be marked. Links to primary sources — manufacturer product pages, regulator guidance, our own tooling — are never affiliate links.
