Editorial Policy

Independence

Our editors decide what we cover and what we recommend. Advertisers and affiliate partners have no influence over our editorial judgement, and no brand sees a review before it is published.

How we test

Products are tested in real-world conditions over days or weeks, using consistent criteria for each category. Where we use lab measurements, we explain our methodology in the article.

Expertise and bylines

Every story carries the name of the person who wrote it. Author pages list their credentials and areas of expertise so you know who is behind the advice.

Affiliate links

Some stories contain affiliate links. If you buy through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. This never affects which products we recommend.

Corrections

We correct errors promptly and transparently. Significant corrections are noted at the end of the affected article with the date of the update.

AI use

Our journalism is written and edited by people. Where tools assist with research, transcription or translation, a human editor verifies every fact before publication.
