Affiliate Disclosure
## Our Commitment to Transparency
Yogi & Linga ("we," "us," or "our") participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click a link to a product and make a purchase — **at no additional cost to you**. The price you pay is never higher because of our affiliate relationship.
This disclosure is required by the **Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under 16 CFR Part 255** and is published in the spirit of full transparency with our readers.

## What an Affiliate Relationship Means
When you click a "Buy Now" or "Check Price" link on our site and complete a purchase:
- We receive a small percentage of the sale from the retailer or affiliate network
- **You pay the same price** as if you had gone directly to the retailer's site
- The retailer handles all order processing, payment, shipping, and returns — we are not the seller
- The retailer may place a tracking cookie on your browser to attribute the sale to us

## What an Affiliate Relationship Does NOT Mean
Our affiliate relationships **never influence** our editorial ratings, scores, or recommendations. Specifically:
- A product's affiliate commission rate does **not** affect its review score
- We will not recommend a product we do not think is genuinely good value
- We report honestly on products we find disappointing — even products with high commissions
- We accept press samples from brands, but never under conditions that require a positive review
We have published negative-to-neutral assessments of products from brands whose affiliate programs we participate in, and will continue to do so.

## How to Identify Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on this site carry `rel="nofollow sponsored"` attributes in the HTML. All review articles and buying guides contain a disclosure notice at the top of the article.
If you prefer to visit a brand's site without using our affiliate link, you are always free to navigate directly.

## Why Affiliate Revenue Matters
Affiliate commissions are the primary way Yogi & Linga funds independent product testing, writing, and research. Without affiliate revenue, we could not purchase products independently or maintain editorial independence from direct brand sponsorship.
We believe this model — where we earn when we successfully recommend good products — better aligns our incentives with our readers than advertising-based models where we'd earn regardless of recommendation quality.
