How affiliate links work

When you click an affiliate product link on SleekDrops, you're currently sent to Amazon. If you make a qualifying purchase within its cookie window, Amazon attributes the sale to SleekDrops and pays us a small commission. The price you pay is the same — the retailer absorbs the commission out of its margin, not your wallet.

Editorial independence

We don't take sponsorships. We don't run "promoted" or "sponsored" posts. No brand or PR agency pays us to publish, and no brand has approval or pre-view rights over SleekDrops coverage. The recommendation comes first; the affiliate link is added after we've decided what to recommend.

No brand has supplied us with a product. If one ever does, the piece will say so, and we will return the unit or disclose ongoing access in the byline.

What a pick rests on

We research; we do not test products, and we don't claim to. The full evidence standard is on how we research, and the part AI plays in producing an article is in our AI-assistance disclosure. Here is what a recommendation rests on:

• Reviews compare a product against its nearest competitors on manufacturer specifications, owner reviews and expert coverage, with Australian availability checked on the date the piece shows.
• Buying guides compare at least three contenders side by side on the same criteria.
• Roundups are ranked against stated criteria — we'll always tell you what we weighted and why.
• Hands-on use plays no part: nobody here has used these products. Every recommendation rests on the sources listed at the foot of the article, each with its publisher and date.
• Pros and cons are honest: 3–5 genuine advantages, 2–4 genuine disadvantages. If we can't find any cons, we haven't looked hard enough yet.
• Prices are not quoted from Amazon. Amazon's programme only allows prices drawn live from its own systems, so we point you to the current price instead; where a figure matters we give the manufacturer's RRP with its year.

How links are labelled

Every affiliate link carries rel="sponsored" in the HTML, per Google's guidance, and every page with one opens with a disclosure under the byline. Buttons and links that say "Check price on Amazon", "See it on Amazon" or similar are always affiliate and always go to Amazon; in-body text links to manufacturers, standards bodies and other sources are not.
