Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: July 13, 2026

Coding Dunia is reader-supported. To keep the articles free we use affiliate links. Here is exactly how that works, in plain language.

Affiliate links

Some articles contain affiliate links to tools, software, and products we write about. If you click one and make a purchase or sign up, we may earn a commission. There is no extra cost to you, and the price you pay is exactly the same as it would be without our link.

We work with affiliate programs and networks such as Amazon Associates, Impact, PartnerStack, Awin, and Sovrn/Skimlinks. When a network automatically converts an outbound link into an affiliate link, the same rule applies: it never costs you more, and it never changes what we recommend.

How we choose what to recommend

Recommendations are never paid placements. No company can pay us to feature, rank, or praise a product. We pick what to cover on merit, based on hands-on use and research, and we say plainly when something is not worth it or when a free option is the better call. A commission never buys a better review.

How affiliate links are labelled

Articles that carry affiliate links show a short disclosure near the top of the page. The links themselves are marked up with rel="sponsored" so search engines can identify them, per Google's guidelines. If you would rather not use an affiliate link, you can always search for the product directly and reach the same page; the choice costs you nothing either way and never changes the price you pay.

Why we disclose

Disclosure is both a legal requirement and a matter of basic trust. The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires anyone with a financial relationship to a product to make that relationship clear and conspicuous, and similar rules apply in the UK, the EU, and most other markets we reach. We would tell you regardless: you deserve to know when a recommendation could earn us money, so you can weigh it accordingly. A recommendation you cannot trust is worth nothing, so we treat these labels as part of the product, not an afterthought.

Editorial independence in practice

Independence is easy to claim and harder to prove, so here is what it looks like day to day. We choose topics based on what readers are trying to do, not on which programs pay the highest commission. We test and research before we write, and we publish the downsides, the cheaper alternatives, and the cases where the honest answer is "you do not need this." When a free or open-source option beats a paid one, we say so plainly, even when the paid one carries an affiliate payout and the free one does not. No advertiser, network, or partner reviews our articles before publication or has any say over ratings, rankings, or verdicts.

What a commission does and does not change

A commission changes exactly one thing: if you buy through our link, the seller shares a small part of what they already earn with us, at no extra cost to you. It does not change the price, the product, the support you receive, or your consumer rights. It does not move a product up a list, soften a criticism, or buy a place in a recommendation. If a partnership ever conflicted with giving you the straight answer, the answer wins and the partnership goes.

Questions

If anything here is unclear, or you spot a link that should be disclosed and is not, email us at [email protected]. We take corrections seriously.
