Affiliate & Advertising disclosure

We are committed to helping you find the best products and services for your needs and connecting you with trustworthy retailers where you can purchase them at competitive prices. Within our editorial content, we often provide links to products and services on retailer sites for which we can receive compensation – called an affiliate fee – if you click on those links or make purchases through them. That affiliate fee is paid to us by the retailer and does not directly affect the price you pay for the product or service.

Our expert editorial teams are independent. This means the products and services they select to appear in our articles are chosen based on their unbiased, expert judgement and relevance to the readers' needs and article content.While our editors may be informed by commercial insights to understand the market, our goal is always to provide independent, objective, valuable and useful advice to our readers.

Our curated product widgets that you see in some of our articles are intended to help you find the best products and services, at competitive prices, at trusted retailers. Those widgets are powered by our own software, called Hawk, which displays the latest product and price information from thousands of retailers. We will always do our best to ensure that we display the most up-to-date information possible. On occasion, a retailer may have updated their prices, up or down, before the adverts displayed by Hawk are updated. Retailers may also add delivery or other costs to the purchase – please see the retailer's site for more information. The affiliate fees we receive help us to continue developing Hawk as well as helping to pay our teams and other website costs.

We also run advertising in various forms. Ads on our websites are designed in a way that makes them clearly identifiable as ads and distinguishable from our editorial articles.

From time to time, we also publish paid-for editorial content on the site. This content is labelled so you can see who has funded it and how it was created. We have afull guide to content funding on Creative Bloq here. You can also see the full terms and conditions that apply to your use of our sitesright here.

How we test and review

When we test products for our deep-dive reviews, buying guides and group tests we stick closely to a set of rules to ensure consistency and accuracy across the board. You can find these in ourhow we test and review guide.

We pride ourselves on honesty, independence and knowledge of a subject. Our reviewing team has decades of experience in the products they cover. They specialise and work in the sectors they review products for, so you can rest assured we test in real world scenarios.

For certain specialist reviews, such as laptops, desktop computers and workstations we run a range of industry-standard benchmarks and tests to determine a device's power, reliability, speed, economy and more. Each device is reviewed under the same test conditions and against the same standards and setup, so we get accurate and consistent results.
