Affiliate disclosure
This site contains affiliate links and may earn a commission when you buy through them, at no extra cost to you.
What that means
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and go on to buy something, the retailer may pay this site a small share of the sale. The price you pay is exactly the same as it would be if you had gone to the retailer directly. We never receive information about what you bought beyond the fact that a purchase happened.
How advertising is labelled
Advertising units are visually distinct from editorial content and carry a "Recommended Sponsor" label. Affiliate links carry the standard rel="sponsored nofollow" markup that tells search engines the link is paid. Citation links inside the guides, which point to government agencies, universities and non-commercial institutions, are ordinary editorial links and are not monetised in any way.
What advertising does not affect
- Which businesses appear in the directory. Listings are compiled from open place data. Nobody pays to be listed.
- The order listings appear in, or which ones are highlighted. There is no paid placement inside the directory.
- What the guides say. Editorial content is written independently, and factual claims are cited to primary sources you can check.
Why we disclose this
United States Federal Trade Commission guidance requires clear disclosure of material connections between a publisher and the products it links to. Beyond the legal requirement, you are entitled to know how a site you are reading makes money before you weigh its recommendations.
