How we’re funded

Outfarer is independent. Here’s how it’s funded today, and the rules we’ll follow when that changes.

Today

Outfarer runs no ads and earns no commission on the products it mentions.

In the future

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

Content created with a brand (a partnership or a sponsored post) will always be clearly labeled, following the rules in each country, and any product it features will be presented accurately and honestly.

Our rules

  • We never recommend a product because it earns us a commission: our picks are based on the criteria laid out in each article.
  • Affiliate links and content created with a brand are disclosed where they appear, following the practice in each country.
  • Ads stay separate from the articles and never appear above the headline.
  • No brand gets to review an article before it’s published, and none can buy a recommendation or a conclusion.

Why independence matters

A how-to guide is only worth something if you can trust it. If a commission or a partnership swayed our conclusions, our articles would stop helping you choose: they’d be selling you something. That’s why we’re spelling out our sources of income before we even have any, and why every recommendation has to hold up without them.

These rules apply to all four editions of the magazine. If something looks like it breaks them, write to us through the contact page: we’ll look into it, and correct it publicly if needed.

When ads or affiliate links do show up, this page will be updated beforehand, with a list of the ad networks and affiliate programs we use.
