This affiliate disclosure explains how Good Sense Guide pays for itself. The site is free to read, and we want to be completely open about how we make money through affiliate links, how that affects what you see, and the promises we make to you.
Last updated October 2026.
How affiliate links work
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and then buy something, the retailer may pay us a small commission. However, you do not pay anything extra, and the price is exactly the same as if you had gone to the retailer directly.
Pages that contain affiliate links include a short note to let you know. In addition, links of this kind are marked in our code as sponsored, in line with search engine guidance.
Affiliate links: who we work with
We work with the following affiliate programmes and networks:
- Amazon Associates
- The eBay Partner Network
- Awin, which works with retailers such as Currys and other UK technology shops
- CJ Affiliate
As an Amazon Associate, Good Sense Guide earns from qualifying purchases.
Our promise about affiliate links
- Commission never affects our recommendations. We suggest what works and what is good value, not what pays us the most.
- We will always tell you if a cheaper, refurbished or free option does the job just as well. Our guide Should you buy refurbished? explains how to save money safely.
- We are never paid by a company to include its products, and we do not accept payment for reviews.
- Free advice stays free. Where we link to charities or government services, there is no commission involved.
Prices and availability
Prices, deals and stock levels change often, including for products we link to through affiliate links. Therefore, always check the retailer’s website for the latest price and details before you buy. If something you buy goes wrong, Citizens Advice explains your consumer rights in plain English.
Donations
As well as affiliate links, readers can choose to support the site through a voluntary donation on Ko-fi. Donations help us keep our guides free and independent. Please note that Good Sense Guide is an independent website, not a registered charity, so donations are not eligible for Gift Aid.
