Affiliate Disclosure
Some links on The Kitchen Geeks may earn the site a commission, but commercial tracking does not buy a ranking or change the stated buying criteria.
How affiliate links work
An affiliate link contains tracking that tells a retailer or affiliate network that a reader arrived from The Kitchen Geeks. If the reader completes a qualifying purchase within the programme rules, the retailer or network may pay us a commission. The purchase price should not be increased because the reader used our link, although prices, delivery charges, taxes and eligibility are controlled by the retailer.
A click does not always produce commission, and we do not receive a complete personal shopping history from ordinary affiliate reporting. Networks typically provide aggregated or transaction-level information needed to calculate payment, prevent fraud and understand which links are useful. Their own privacy and cookie policies apply when a reader visits the retailer or network domain.
Where links may appear
Affiliate links may appear in buying guides, comparisons, product roundups, maintenance articles or category hubs when a retailer destination is relevant. They can be presented in a button, a product name or a clear retailer reference. A page can also contain non-affiliate links to manuals, official guidance, manufacturer support, retailers with better documentation or sources that help verify a claim.
The presence of a link is not a guarantee of stock, price, delivery, suitability or warranty coverage. Readers should check the retailer page and the exact model before ordering. They are free to search independently, use another retailer or decide not to buy.
Editorial independence
The editorial question comes first: what problem is the reader trying to solve, and which ownership tradeoffs decide the answer? Commission rate, network access and promotional pressure do not replace that framework. We do not sell a guaranteed review position, a favourable score or the removal of a documented disadvantage.
A retailer or manufacturer may provide updated specifications, a manual or a correction. We evaluate the evidence and decide whether it changes the article. Commercial partners do not receive a right to approve the conclusion before publication. Sponsored material, if accepted in the future, will be labelled clearly and kept distinguishable from independent editorial work.
What readers pay
Using an affiliate link should not add a separate fee to the reader. The retailer sets the price and may change it at any time. Discounts, delivery costs, returns and warranty terms can differ between retailers or between versions of the same product, so readers should confirm the full checkout information rather than relying on an older article reference.
Product availability and responsibility
The Kitchen Geeks is not the seller, payment processor, manufacturer or delivery company. Questions about an order, refund, repair, guarantee or product defect should first be directed to the retailer or manufacturer named in the transaction. Our consumer-rights links provide general context, but they do not replace advice for an individual dispute.
Cookies and tracking
Affiliate programmes may use cookies or similar identifiers to attribute a purchase. Consent requirements and retention periods depend on the technology and the organisations involved. The Privacy Policy explains the site's use of analytics, logs, forms and third-party destinations. Browser controls or a consent tool may limit non-essential tracking where required.
Questions about this disclosure
Questions about affiliate relationships can be sent to info@thekitchengeeks.co.uk. Please include the relevant page and retailer if the question concerns a specific link. This disclosure may change when programmes or regulations change, but the core rule remains: a commercial link can support the publication, while the evidence and recommendation logic must remain editorial decisions.
