Affiliate Disclosure

Maison Assay participates in affiliate advertising programs and sells clearly labelled sponsored placements. This page explains each one, because you should be able to tell exactly how a page you are reading is paid for.

How affiliate links work

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. That commission helps fund our editorial work and keeps the site free to read.

Our affiliate partners

• Amazon Associates, product links to Amazon
• Direct affiliate programs, we work directly with selected brands in our niche, which generally means better terms for readers than a generic network

Sponsored placements

We sell sponsored placements, and every one of them is labelled as sponsored on the page it appears on, with the outbound link marked rel="sponsored". A sponsor pays for the placement and for our time. A sponsor cannot buy a position, a rating, or a recommendation. If you can see it, it is disclosed; if it is not disclosed, nobody paid for it.

Editorial independence

Our rankings and recommendations are never influenced by affiliate commission rates or by whether a company has paid us for anything. Products are evaluated on their merits using our published methodology. If a product with a lower commission rate, or no commission at all, is the better product, we say so.
