Affiliate Disclosure

Silikode is an independent technology publication. To sustain the project and keep publishing reviews, guides and news for free, some of our content includes affiliate links. This page explains, with full transparency, what that means for you.

How Silikode is funded

Silikode is sustained mainly through affiliate programs. We do not charge brands to review their products, and we do not sell ratings: our revenue comes from commissions on purchases that readers make at third-party stores through our links.

What affiliate links are

An affiliate link is a link that, when you click it within our content, takes you to an online store or a manufacturer's page. If you decide to buy a product there, Silikode may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you: the price you pay is exactly the same as if you had reached the store on your own.

Programs we take part in

We work with the following affiliate programs, among others:

• Amazon Associates — As an Amazon Associate, Silikode earns from qualifying purchases.
• Mercado Libre affiliate program — Silikode may earn a commission on purchases made through our Mercado Libre links.

Depending on your location, we show you first the store that operates in your region (for example, Mercado Libre in Latin America and Amazon elsewhere). The goal is for you to find the product at the most convenient store.

Our editorial independence

Affiliate links do not affect our reviews or recommendations. Deciding which products we cover and what we think of them is a purely editorial decision:

• We never recommend a product we don't genuinely consider good.
• The existence of a commission does not change a review's score, its pros and cons, or its conclusions.
• A negative review can coexist with an affiliate link: if a product doesn't convince us, we say so.

Prices and availability

The prices, deals and stock availability shown on Silikode are captured at the time an article is published or updated and may change at any time at the destination store. Silikode does not control or guarantee final prices: the valid price is always the one shown at the store at the time of your purchase. The same applies to price alerts: they are an informational aid and do not constitute an offer.

Relationship with stores and manufacturers

Any relationship, contractual or otherwise, that you enter into with an advertiser, affiliate or store when you click one of our links is understood to be solely between you and that third party. Silikode acts only as an advertising medium: it is not a party to the transaction and is not responsible for delivery, warranty, after-sales support, or the purchase conditions of the destination store. Any cookies that those stores or affiliate networks may set when you click are governed by each one's privacy policy.

How we label content

In addition to this page, we display a transparency notice at the bottom of each applicable article. We use clear labels to indicate our relationship with the product being reviewed:

• Purchased — bought by the author; no brand influenced the review.
• Review unit — temporarily provided by the brand, with no editorial control on their part.
• Sponsored — paid content, clearly identified; opinions remain our own.
• Affiliate — the content includes affiliate links.
• Informational — based on official specifications, with no physical access to the product.
