Affiliate Disclosure
Full Transparency on Affiliate Relationships
Last Updated: December 2025
Full transparency
This website contains affiliate links. When you click on these links and make a purchase, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support the website and allows me to continue creating honest, in-depth reviews.
What are affiliate links?
Affiliate links are special tracking URLs that allow merchants to know when a customer was referred by our website. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase within a certain timeframe (usually 24 hours to 30 days, depending on the program), we may receive a small commission from the sale.
Important: You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant's website. The commission comes from the merchant, not from you.

Our review independence policy
I provide honest assessments regardless of potential affiliate commissions.
Every product is tested hands-on using standardized criteria and real-world scenarios.
If a product doesn't meet my standards, I'll tell you—even if it means losing commissions.
Companies cannot pay for positive reviews or higher ratings.
I buy most products myself. Review units are always disclosed.
How affiliate links are identified
On this website, affiliate links may be identified in several ways:
- Links labeled with "affiliate link" or similar disclosure
- Links with
rel="sponsored"attribute - Links within clearly marked "Where to Buy" or "Check Price" sections
- Product links within review articles that lead to merchant websites
When in doubt, assume that any link to an external product or service may be an affiliate link.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255, "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
As required by the FTC, we disclose that we may receive compensation for products featured or reviewed on this website. The content of our reviews is our own honest opinion based on our testing and experience with the products.
Why use affiliate links?
Running a quality tech review website requires significant time and resources:
- Purchasing products for testing
- Maintaining testing equipment and software
- Website hosting and development costs
- Hours spent researching, testing, and writing reviews
Affiliate commissions help offset these costs and allow me to continue providing free, high-quality content. Your support through affiliate links is greatly appreciated but never required—the same information is available whether you use affiliate links or not.
