Affiliate Disclosure

Sentinel Standard is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. This is how we fund our work and keep our content free.

How We Earn Revenue

Sentinel Standard participates in affiliate programs, including (but not limited to) the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. This means that when you click on a product link on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

These commissions help us cover the costs of running this site, purchasing products for testing, and paying our team of reviewers.

Our Editorial Independence

Affiliate relationships do not influence our reviews, ratings, or recommendations. Our editorial team evaluates every product using the same rigorous methodology regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with the manufacturer or retailer.

We frequently recommend products that we have no affiliate relationship with, and we regularly advise against products from brands that do offer commissions. Our loyalty is to our readers, not to advertisers.

What This Means for You

  • We earn commissions when you purchase products through our affiliate links.
  • You pay the same price whether you use our links or not — there is no markup.
  • Our reviews and recommendations are based on independent testing and research.
  • We only recommend products we have tested and would use ourselves.
  • We clearly identify affiliate links where required by law.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose our material connections with the brands and products we review. This page serves as our comprehensive disclosure. Individual articles may also contain inline disclosures where appropriate.
