Affiliate Disclosure
Plain language — how our affiliate relationships work and what they mean for you.
As an Amazon Associate, CyceneStore earns from qualifying purchases. This means we may earn a small commission when you click our links and buy something on Amazon — at absolutely no extra cost to you.
The Short Version
CyceneStore participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to allow websites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon. When you click a link on our site that goes to Amazon and then make a purchase, we may receive a small percentage of the sale.
This costs you nothing extra. The price you pay on Amazon is exactly the same whether you arrived there via our link or typed the URL directly.
✓ Our rankings are never influenced by affiliate commissions. If a product performs poorly in our testing, we say so — even if recommending it would earn us more money.
How It Works
- You read a review or buying guide on CyceneStore
- You click a link that takes you to a product on Amazon
- If you purchase that product (or anything else on Amazon within 24 hours), we earn a small commission
- Amazon pays us directly — your price is unchanged
Commission rates vary by product category and are set entirely by Amazon. We have no control over the commission rate for any given product.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising. The FTC requires that websites disclose any material connection to a product or brand being recommended — including financial relationships like affiliate commissions.
In addition to this dedicated disclosure page, you will find a short affiliate disclosure notice at the top of every page on CyceneStore, and adjacent to any affiliate link where contextually appropriate.
Other Affiliate Programmes
At this time, Amazon Associates is our primary affiliate relationship. If we join additional affiliate programmes in the future, we will update this page to reflect those relationships. We will always disclose any material connection that could reasonably affect how readers perceive our recommendations.
No Free Products Policy
CyceneStore purchases all reviewed products at retail price using our own funds. We do not accept free products, review units, or payment from manufacturers in exchange for coverage or favourable reviews. This is our standing policy and applies to all content published on this site.
