Affiliate programs

The Website supports transparency and therefore I would like to be clear and state that I have included certain products and links of these products on the site that I will earn commissions for qualifying purchases. My priority is to advertise products that I would use or that I already use.

The site grows quickly  and may participate in affiliate programs at any time. Therefore it is impossible to mention every affiliate program the Website participates.  Therefore and in order to be in the safe side, you should assume that any links leading you to products or services are affiliate links and the Website will receive a commission for qualified purchases.

Affiliate programs participation is done by tracking links in the Website. This means that if you click on a link of an affiliate, a cookie will be placed on your browser to track sales and assign possible commissions to the Website. Your final price is not affected.
