Affiliate disclosure

How affiliate links are labelled

Every affiliate link is marked with “Ad: affiliate link. We earn a commission on qualifying purchases.” before you click it, not only in a footer. Articles that exist primarily to promote a product are labelled as advertising in their title treatment.

Programme status, stated honestly

As of the date above, this site has not been approved for any affiliate programme. Vendor links that are not part of an approved, active programme are ordinary links: they go straight to the vendor, carry no tracking, and earn nothing. We will not imply a partnership that does not exist.

Rules that keep money out of decisions

• Our next-step tool cannot see commission data. Its routing depends only on your answers.
• Comparison order follows editorial rules, never payout.
• Suitable free and non-affiliate options appear wherever they fit the problem.
• If nothing suitable exists, we recommend nothing.

What we don’t do

No fake reviews, no invented test results, no purchased ratings, no cookies stuffed into your browser, and no claim that any vendor endorses us. Where a software fact comes from the vendor’s own documentation, it says so.
