Advertising & Affiliates

Commercial relationships, clearly disclosed.

You should be able to recognise when a placement is paid for or a link can earn TFT a commission.

Last updated: 24 September 2026.

Current position

As of the update date above, this website carries no paid advertising, sponsored placements, or commission-earning affiliate links. This page explains how such relationships will be disclosed if they are introduced.

Advertising and sponsorship

Paid advertising will be visibly identified as advertising. Sponsored articles, tools, or other placements will name the sponsor and explain the commercial relationship near the relevant content. Payment will not be presented as independent evidence for a research finding or trading outcome.

An advertisement is not a guarantee of the advertiser’s reliability, suitability, or results. Check its product, costs, risks, and terms independently.

Affiliate links

An affiliate relationship allows TFT to receive a commission when a reader takes a qualifying action, such as buying a product through a particular link. Where that applies, the page will explain the commission relationship close to the recommendation or link, before you act on it.

Look for the disclosure beside the recommendation or link. An ordinary link, including a link to TFT’s own publishing channels, is not automatically an affiliate link. Check the specific offer for any discount and the price you will pay.

Reviews, gifts, and editorial independence

Free access, products, payment, or another benefit connected with a recommendation will be disclosed. Reviews explain the experience or assessment behind them, including relevant limitations. Commercial relationships do not change the evidence, assumptions, or findings of a research study.

Privacy and tracking

TFT’s current analytics choices are described in the privacy notice. Permission for analytics is not permission for advertising tracking. If advertising or affiliate technology changes how visitor data is used, the notice and relevant privacy choices will be updated before that technology is introduced.

After following an external link, the destination’s own privacy practices apply. Read its privacy and purchase information before signing up or buying.
