Affiliate status and commercial independence

Active affiliate partners, clear link disclosures and independent editorial decisions.

Current affiliate status

Uberkinky is an active affiliate partner. Its tagged links appear in separate optional retailer boxes on selected product guides and eligible related education guides, and in the /shop directory. The directory also retains Honour Clothing and the 20 Awin/Amazon product links supplied in the feed. The UK Kink Guide may earn commission from a qualifying purchase through an affiliate link, at no extra cost to the reader.

Glossary pages have no external retailer links. Only selected product guides and eligible related education guides show the Uberkinky retailer box; commercial-free, consent, abuse, law and health guides remain excluded. Product titles from the supplied feed are not independent reviews, safety assessments or paid rankings.

GoAffPro programme disclosure

The UK Kink Guide is a participant in the GoAffPro Affiliate Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Honour Clothing.

The programme provides tagged link formats and approved marketing assets. Participation does not make Honour Clothing or GoAffPro an editor, evidence source or sponsor of the site's educational conclusions.

How affiliate links are presented

Every commission-earning link is marked clearly before the reader clicks it. The accompanying disclosure explains that the site may earn a commission and whether this changes the price paid by the reader.

An Awin feed supplies Amazon product titles and URLs. Three affiliate redirects were checked against their feed Amazon product IDs. The other 17 Awin destinations come from the supplied feed but could not be independently confirmed in the review browser; readers should check the final product page and seller. Amazon's live product details could not be independently inspected. Qualifying affiliate links use rel="sponsored" together with appropriate security attributes.

Editorial independence

Affiliate availability, commission rate, gifts, discounts or commercial contact will not determine which subjects are covered or what the site concludes. Definitions, evidence summaries, clinical distinctions, legal context and safety warnings remain editorial decisions.

A commercial relationship will never guarantee inclusion, a favourable comparison or immunity from correction. Non-commercial educational routes will remain available.

Product selection and review

Product-discovery coverage begins with reader needs: intended category, release, fit, materials, accessibility, cleaning, maintenance, instructions, traceability and consumer protections. It does not begin with the programme paying the highest rate.

Future commercial links will have a recorded destination, disclosure status and review date so changed, broken or misleading destinations can be removed.

Where commercial promotion is allowed

Uberkinky category links are allowed only on the selected product guides, their eligible existing education mappings, and /shop. Each retailer box states: Affiliate link: we may earn a commission if you buy, at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we recommend. Each box links to this policy. No affiliate box appears on commercial-free, consent, abuse, legal, clinical or health guides, or on chastity-play-guide or consensual-non-consent-guide. Bondara destinations remain inactive and hidden.

An educational product guide may offer an internal next step after warning that the reader is entering a commercial area. Eligibility is decided before a partner or product is considered, and all educational material remains usable without opening a retailer destination.

Samples, gifts and licensed assets

A gifted or loaned sample will be recorded and disclosed on the relevant page. Receiving a sample never guarantees publication, ranking, positive wording or continued coverage.

Brand names, logos, photographs, product data and claims will only be used with an appropriate licence or other documented permission. AI-generated illustrations will not imitate retailer packaging or be presented as a real product photograph.

Cookies, privacy and control

Uberkinky links use the referral code ref=mdlkmdc. Honour Clothing and Awin/Amazon affiliate links also include attribution identifiers. The UK Kink Guide does not itself set an affiliate cookie or conversion pixel; the affiliate network and retailer may process a click under their own privacy and cookie terms. If future on-site measurement requires non-essential storage or access on a reader's device, it will remain disabled until any required consent choice has been made.

Readers can use all educational content without following a retailer link. Opening the affiliate destination is always optional.

Measurement and accountability

Any future pilot will define success measures before activation, distinguish editorial readership from outbound commercial clicks and avoid claiming audience figures that have not been independently measured.

Commercial placements, disclosures, destinations, supplied assets and material partner communications will be kept in a review record so corrections or removals can be made quickly.
