Affiliate disclosure

The short version: some links here are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the retailer pays us a commission. You pay exactly the same either way.

How it works

When we write about a product, the link to the seller is tagged so they can tell the visit came from us. If a purchase follows, they pay us a fixed amount. It costs you nothing extra and doesn't change the price, the delivery or the terms you're offered.

What it doesn't buy

No brand pays us to be written about, to be reviewed well, or to have something left out. We've never been given a product free in exchange for coverage, and we don't accept edits from brands — only corrections of fact, which we'd make for anyone.

The obvious question is whether a commission bends what we write. Our answer is in the pages themselves: we publish the refund terms that contradict the guarantee badge, the billing clauses buried in the small print, and who the seller company actually is. Those aren't the paragraphs of someone writing to convert.

Where you'll see it

At the top of every page that carries an affiliate link, and again next to the link itself. You should never have to guess.

Not an endorsement

A link is not a recommendation to buy. It's a way to see the product for yourself, with the price and terms in front of you. What we recommend is reading the small print first — and, if you take medication or have a condition, talking to your GP or pharmacist.
