Editorial
Editorial policy
How we decide what to cover, how we handle vendor relationships, and the rules our writers work to.
Last updated 29 August 2026
Independence
Editorial decisions are made by the editorial team alone. No advertiser, affiliate partner or vendor sees an article before it is published, and none has the ability to change a score or remove a criticism.
Sourcing
Claims of fact are sourced. Pricing comes from the vendor's own pricing page or a quote we obtained, with the date we checked. Where we cite research, we link to the original rather than a summary of it.
Use of AI in our work
See our AI content policy. In short: AI assists with research and drafting, a named human edits and is accountable, and nothing describing a hands-on experience is published unless a person had it.
Affiliate relationships
We disclose them on every page that carries them. Products without affiliate programs are covered on the same terms as products with them, and appear in our recommendations when they earn the place. See theaffiliate disclosure.
Corrections
We correct errors quickly and visibly. See thecorrections policy.
Sponsored content
If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be labelled as such at the top of the page, excluded from rankings, and never presented as a review.
