Handpicked Reviews

Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure

How HandpickedReviews earns money: affiliate commissions, why they never decide a ranking, and what our prices and product data do and do not mean.

Last updated: September 28, 2026 Short version: we earn commissions when readers buy through links on this site. It costs you nothing extra, and it never decides a ranking. How we make money HandpickedReviews takes part in affiliate programmes, including Amazon's affiliate programme and the PartnerBoost network. When you click a shopping link and complete a purchase, the retailer's affiliate network records that the visit started here and pays us a percentage of the order. The retailer pays that out of its own marketing budget. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or search for the product yourself. What our commercial relationships do not change Placement is not for sale. A brand cannot buy a position, a badge or a higher score, and we decline offers to do so. Rankings are editorial. Our editors apply published criteria first and links are added afterwards. When a cheaper product wins on the criteria it ranks first, even though it pays us less. No sponsored posts. We do not publish paid placements, advertorials or partner content dressed up as editorial. If that ever changes, this page will say so at the top, in plain words. How the links work Affiliate links are ordinary URLs with a tracking code attached, usually through a network domain, so the address bar may show a short domain for a moment before the retailer's page loads. Every outbound shopping link on this site carries rel="sponsored" and rel="nofollow". If you would rather not be tracked, search for the product directly — the article is free to read either way. Cookies set by retailers We do not set advertising or analytics cookies of our own; see our Privacy Policy. The retailers you click through to may set their own cookies and handle information under their own privacy notices. That processing is controlled by them, not by us. Prices and availability Prices, discounts and stock move daily — sometimes hourly — because most retailers price dynamically. Every price on this site is the one we saw when that entry was last checked, and each guide carries its publication date. Treat our figures as a reference: the price that applies to you is the one shown at the retailer's checkout. When a price or availability change is large enough to alter a ranking we update the guide; the publication date stays as it was, and the change is tracked separately. Where our product information comes from Product data such as price, availability, specifications and listing images comes from the affiliate catalogue this site is part of — the same information a shopper sees on the product page — plus publicly reported buyer feedback. We do not run a laboratory and we never claim that a product was physically tested. Supporting this site without paying more Use the links on the page instead of searching for the product again; it costs nothing extra and it is how the site pays for itself. If you would rather not use an affiliate link, that is fine too — we would rather you ended up with the right product.
