How we are funded

Today

Outfarer carries no advertising and earns no commission on the products it mentions.

In future

The magazine may carry advertising, always kept separate from the articles, and include affiliate links: if you buy something after clicking one, the retailer pays us a commission and the price you pay stays the same. These links will be flagged.

Content produced with a brand (a partnership or an advertorial) will always be clearly labelled, in line with each country’s rules, and any product it features will be presented accurately and honestly.

Our rules

• A product is never recommended because it earns us a commission: our choices rest on the criteria set out in each article.
• Affiliate links and content produced with a brand are flagged where they appear, in line with practice in each country.
• Advertising stays separate from the articles and never appears above the headline.
• No brand gets to review an article before it is published, and none can buy a recommendation or a conclusion.

Why independence matters

A practical guide is only worth something if you can trust it. If a commission or a partnership swayed our conclusions, our articles would no longer help you choose: they would be selling you something. That is why we are setting out our sources of income before we even have any, and why every recommendation has to stand up without them.

These rules apply to all four editions of the magazine. If something seems to break them, write to us via the contact page: we will look into it, and correct it publicly if need be.

When advertising or affiliate links do arrive, this page will be updated beforehand, with a list of the advertising networks and affiliate programmes used.
