The short version
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That commission never influences whether a product is recommended, how it is ranked, or what we say about it.
Why we use affiliate links
Research takes time. Reading official documentation, tracking compatibility changes and keeping checklists up to date is the work behind every guide, and affiliate commissions are how we fund it without a paywall or display advertising.
What affiliate links never buy
- A positive mention or a higher placement in a guide
- Coverage of a product presented as tested when it was not
- Editorial review of an article before publication
How our recommendations actually work
Recommendations come from the decision criteria printed in each guide and comparison. Where a product fails a criterion — a missing feature, a hub requirement, a worse privacy default — we say so even if that product converts well.
Programmes we participate in
Placeholder — list the affiliate networks and retailer programmes you actually use here, for example: Amazon Associates, retailer direct programmes, or networks such as Impact and ShareASale.
