Affiliate disclosure

The short version

Some links on Digital4All are affiliate links. If you click one and then buy or subscribe, the vendor pays us a commission. It costs you nothing extra — the price you pay is the same either way — and it is one of the ways this site funds independent, hands-on testing.

How the commissions work

We participate in affiliate programmes run by software vendors and affiliate networks. When a purchase is attributed to us (typically via a tracking cookie set by the vendor after you click our link), we receive either a one-off payment or a percentage of your subscription for a period. Terms vary by programme; none of them are visible to you or change your price.

The /go redirect

Affiliate links on this site route through our own redirect at /go/<name> before reaching the vendor. This lets us count clicks, know which page a click came from, and attribute any resulting commission to the right article — which is how we know what content pays for itself. The redirect records the source page and basic device information; it does not build a personal profile of you. Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" for search engines, and every page carrying them shows a disclosure notice above the content.

Editorial independence

Commissions do not buy coverage. Concretely:

• Ratings, rankings and “our pick” badges are decided on editorial grounds before any commercial consideration. Many tools we recommend pay us nothing.
• Vendors cannot pay to be reviewed, to improve a score, or to remove criticism.
• If a tool we criticise has an affiliate programme, the criticism stays. If our top pick has no programme, it remains our top pick — with a plain, untracked link.
• When a programme pauses or ends, links fall back to the vendor’s ordinary website; the content does not change.

How reviews are researched and scored is documented in our editorial policy.

FTC compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255) and equivalent rules in other jurisdictions.
