Commerce Policy
Last updated August 1, 2026
Some CI stories include links to products. This policy explains how those recommendations are made and how we make money from them.
How we recommend
Recommendations come from hands-on testing, expert interviews and published research. Brands cannot pay for inclusion or for a better ranking.
Affiliate commissions
CI may earn a commission when you buy through a link in our stories. The price you pay is unchanged, and commissions never influence which products we choose.
Review samples
Samples are returned after testing or donated. Keeping a sample is not permitted.
