Affiliate Disclosure

Certain links to products and services on DrafterDaily are affiliate links. If you click one and go on to sign up or buy something, the company pays us a percentage of the sale or a flat referral fee. The price you pay is identical to what you would pay going direct — affiliate programs come out of the seller's marketing budget, not your wallet.

Where an affiliate link appears, it is labelled. Blocks of recommended products carry a disclosure directly above them, not buried underneath in small type.

DrafterDaily is funded by two things: display advertising (served by Google AdSense and its partners) and affiliate commissions. We do not charge for access and we have no paywall.

We are telling you this because how a publication is funded shapes what it has an incentive to publish, and you are entitled to know what our incentives are.

• We do not write articles because a product has an affiliate program. Editorial topics are chosen on news value. If a piece would not exist without the affiliate link, it does not get published.
• We do not soften criticism of a product we earn from. If a tool we have an affiliate relationship with is bad at something, we say so.
• We do not accept payment for a positive review, a ranking position, or inclusion in a list.
• We do not accept sponsored posts presented as editorial, guest posts placed for backlinks, or paid link insertions into existing articles.
• We do not sell placement in our recommendations. Commission rates do not affect ordering.
• Advertisers and affiliate partners get no advance sight of articles and no ability to have coverage changed or removed.

Our full independence rules are in the Editorial Policy.

This disclosure exists to comply with the US Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), and with comparable disclosure requirements elsewhere. We aim to exceed the minimum rather than meet it: disclosure appears before the links, in normal-size type, in plain language.

Affiliate programs generally set a cookie when you click a link, so the merchant can attribute the sale. That cookie is set by the merchant or their affiliate network, not by us, and is covered by their privacy policy. Our own use of cookies is described in the Privacy Policy.

If you want to know whether a specific link is an affiliate link, ask: drafterdaily@gmail.com. We will tell you.
