The short version
When you buy something through a link in our stories, a retailer may pay us a small percentage of the sale. It costs you nothing extra. It does not change what we recommend, how we rank products, or what we say about them.
What we label
- Commerce stories carry a disclosure at the top of the page, above the first product.
- Monetised outbound links use
rel="sponsored nofollow". - Gifted or sample products are disclosed in the story where relevant.
- Any paid or sponsored content is labelled as such and is not written by our editorial team.
What commission never buys
Inclusion in a guide, a position in a ranking, a rating, or the removal of criticism. Products from retailers we have no commercial relationship with appear in our guides regularly, and we frequently recommend the cheaper option. Our selection criteria are public for exactly this reason.
Prices
Prices are accurate at the time of publication or last update and can change without notice. Always confirm the current price and formulation on the retailer’s page before buying.
Questions
If you think a recommendation looks commercially motivated, tell us — we’d rather hear it.
