Affiliate Disclaimer

Last updated: June 2026

SmartTechReviews participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click certain links on our Site and complete a purchase on a third-party website. This disclosure is provided in compliance with FTC guidelines and in the interest of full transparency.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based arrangement where a publisher (SmartTechReviews) refers visitors to a merchant's website. If the visitor makes a qualifying purchase, the publisher receives a small commission from the merchant. This commission comes from the merchant's marketing budget — it does not increase the price you pay.

How Affiliate Links Work on Our Site

Throughout SmartTechReviews, you will encounter outbound links on product names, images, buttons (such as "Check Availability" and "Get 50% Off"), and call-to-action banners. These links typically contain tracking parameters that identify SmartTechReviews as the referring source.

When you click an affiliate link:

1. You are redirected to the merchant's official website;
2. A tracking cookie or referral ID may be placed in your browser;
3. If you complete a purchase within the cookie's active window (usually 24–30 days), we may earn a commission;
4. The transaction is governed entirely by the merchant's terms, return policy, and privacy policy.

Our Relationship with Featured Products

Products featured in our ranked guides — including our #1 pick and all comparison listings — may be affiliate partners. Compensation from these partners helps fund our research, testing, and content creation. However, affiliate status does not mean we have personally tested every claim made on the merchant's website.

No Additional Cost to You

Using our affiliate links does not result in any extra charge. In some cases, you may receive a discount or promotional offer available exclusively through referral links. All pricing is determined by the merchant at checkout.

We Are Not the Seller

SmartTechReviews is an independent review site. We do not sell, ship, or provide customer support for any products listed on our Site. All orders, returns, refunds, and warranty claims must be handled directly with the merchant or manufacturer.

Affiliate Networks & Partners

We work with various affiliate networks and direct merchant programs. These partners may collect anonymous click and conversion data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not have access to your payment information or order details.

Editorial Integrity

While affiliate relationships influence which products appear on our Site and how they are presented, we aim to provide content that is genuinely useful to consumers. We disclose our commercial relationships openly so you can factor them into your buying decisions. For more context, see our Advertising Disclosure.

Your Choice

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer, you can navigate directly to a merchant's website without clicking through SmartTechReviews. We appreciate your support when you do use our links, as it helps keep our content free to access.
