How Affiliate Links Work
When you click an affiliate link on our site, a tracking cookie is placed in your browser. If you complete a qualifying purchase within the cookie window (typically 30–90 days depending on the program), we receive a commission. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or navigate directly to the merchant's site — you never pay more by using our links.
