Affiliate disclosure

How affiliate links work

When you click a “Check price” button or another retailer link, you go to the retailer’s site through a tracking link. The retailer, or the affiliate network it uses, records that the visit came from us, usually with a cookie on its own site. If you buy within the period the retailer allows, it pays us a percentage of the sale. The price you pay is the same as if you’d gone to the retailer directly.

Which retailers we work with

• Bestvibe, through the Impact affiliate network

Because our product data and links currently come from a single retailer, the products we can link to are limited to what it sells. Its listings are a source we check, not an authority: we label retailer-stated facts as such and leave out its marketing claims.

What commissions don’t change

• Which products we recommend, and the order we put them in.
• Whether we say a cheaper product is good enough, even though it earns us less.
• What we say about a product’s weaknesses, or who should skip it.
• How a review is labelled. Commissions never turn a research-based review into a “tested” one.

We don’t accept payment for reviews, rankings, awards or placement, and we don’t publish sponsored posts.

How to spot an affiliate link

• Pages with affiliate links show a short disclosure near the top, before the first link.
• Retailer buttons say where they go, for example “Check price at Bestvibe”, and open in a new tab.
• Affiliate links are marked rel="sponsored nofollow", which tells search engines they’re paid links.
