Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026-04-02

FTC Disclosure

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires us to disclose that we have affiliate relationships with certain companies. This means we may earn a commission when you click on our product links and make a purchase.

How We Make Money

CookedOutdoors earns commissions through affiliate programs with trusted retailers.

Amazon Associates Program

  • As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases when you use our Amazon links.

When you click on a product link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This helps support the operation of this site and allows us to continue providing free content and recommendations.

What This Means For You

You pay the same price whether you use our link or not.

The commission we earn comes from the retailer (Amazon), not from you. There is no extra cost to you for clicking through our affiliate links.

Our Commitment to Honest Recommendations

This affiliate relationship does NOT influence our recommendations.

We only recommend products we believe are genuinely good choices, based on research, community feedback, expert reviews, and (where possible) our own experience.

Our recommendations are based on thorough research and genuine product quality, not on commission rates. We prioritize helping you find the right product for your needs over maximizing our earnings.

Quality Over Commission

We could earn more by recommending different products. We don't.

Helping you pick the right product matters more than maximizing our commission. Your trust matters more than any single transaction.

How We Choose Products

Every product we recommend is thoroughly researched using multiple independent sources, including professional reviews, expert communities, and user feedback.

Commission rates do NOT factor into product selection. We only recommend products that meet our quality standards and genuinely serve our readers' needs.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Operating this site requires time and resources:

  • Researching and comparing products
  • Writing and updating content
  • Maintaining the site and quiz tool
  • Monitoring product availability and prices

Affiliate commissions allow us to provide this service for free without intrusive ads, paywalls, or requiring you to create an account.

Non-Affiliate Links

Where possible, we also link to:

  • Manufacturer websites (for product specs)
  • Community forums (for discussions)
  • Educational resources (for learning)

These links do not earn us any commission.

  • FTC's Endorsement and Testimonial Guidelines (16 CFR Part 255)
