The short version
Some of the links on The Silver Tress are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may
earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra — the price you pay is the same
either way.
How we choose what to recommend
We decide what to write about first and look at whether it can be monetised second. A
product does not get recommended here because it pays well, and a good product does not get
left out because it pays nothing. Where we think something is not worth buying, we say so.
What this does not change
An affiliate relationship never buys editorial coverage, a positive review, or a placement
in a list. We do not accept payment to review a product favourably.
Sponsored content and gifted products
If an article is sponsored, or a product was gifted to us, that is stated clearly at the top
of the article itself and not only here.
Advertising
We may also display advertising. Ads are served by third parties and their presence is not
an endorsement. Advertisers have no say in our editorial content.
Your consent
Affiliate and advertising partners may set cookies. You can review and change your choices
at any time through the cookie banner. See our Privacy Policy.
