Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is important to us. Here's how we fund our testing and reviews.
How We Make Money
CookCompare participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission when you click on links to products and make a purchase. This helps fund our independent testing and allows us to keep our content free for readers.
Our Affiliate Partners
We participate in the following affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates Program: We earn from qualifying purchases made through Amazon links
- Other retailers: We may have affiliate relationships with other kitchen appliance retailers
Editorial Independence
Affiliate partnerships do not influence our reviews or recommendations. Here's how we maintain independence:
- We purchase all tested products with our own funds
- No manufacturer or retailer pays for reviews or rankings
- Our recommendations are based solely on testing results and value assessment
- We clearly mark all affiliate links
- We review products we don't have affiliate relationships with
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click on a link marked as an affiliate link (or any product link on our site) and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer. This comes at no additional cost to you – the price you pay remains the same.
Affiliate links on our site include:
- Product recommendation buttons
- Links within comparison tables
- Product name links in articles
- Banner advertisements (when present)
Price and Availability
Product prices and availability can change frequently. We do our best to keep information current, but we recommend checking the retailer's website for the most up-to-date pricing and availability before making a purchase.
Your Trust Matters
We take our relationship with readers seriously. Our goal is to provide honest, helpful information that makes your buying decisions easier. Affiliate commissions help us:
- Purchase products for testing
- Maintain and improve our website
- Create new content and guides
- Keep our reviews free and accessible
