Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 29 September 2026
The short version
Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, I may earn a commission. You never pay more because of it — the price is the same as it would be if you had gone to the shop directly.
Which programmes I am actually in
I take part in affiliate programmes run through the Awin network. Where a page links
to a retailer I have a commercial relationship with, the link carries the ad badge
described below.
I am not an Amazon Associate, and there are no Amazon affiliate links on this site. Where a page mentions a price at Amazon or any other shop I am not affiliated with, that is an ordinary link or a plain mention, and I earn nothing from it.
The same rule applies to every programme I join: the commission comes out of the retailer’s margin, not out of your pocket.
How you can tell
Every affiliate link on this site carries the sponsored attribute and a small ad
badge, and every page containing affiliate links shows a notice at the top, before the
content. You should never have to guess.
What the money does and does not buy
It does not buy a recommendation. No brand pays to appear here, to rank higher in a comparison, or to be described favourably. Where a product is poor value, the page says so — including where that product would have paid the highest commission.
It does not change the order of a comparison. Products are ranked on fit, build, price and suitability. Commission rate is not a factor and never has been.
It does pay for the site. Hosting, the domain, and the time this takes.
Where a product came to me free
If a brand ever sends me a product at no charge, the page about that product will say so clearly, at the top, in the same place as the affiliate notice. This has not happened yet. If it does, you will know.
