Editorial / Affiliate policy
Useful first.
Commercial second.
Hiinghams is written and edited by Harri Ingham. This policy explains the evidence behind its recommendations and the role affiliate links play.
Start with the need
A guide begins with a real use case, constraint or buying question. Products are compared against the criteria that matter for that job, rather than included simply because they are popular.
Trade-offs, compatibility and the type of reader a product suits should be clear enough to support a decision.
Research the evidence
Research may include manufacturer documentation, product specifications, UK retailer information, warranty and returns terms, and credible independent reviews.
Prices, stock and specifications can change. Readers should confirm the current details on the retailer or manufacturer page before purchasing.
Label experience honestly
Most Hiinghams guides are research-led. A product is described as tested, tried or used hands-on only when that experience actually took place.
Research-led selection is not presented as personal testing, and uncertain details are omitted or qualified rather than guessed.
Keep commerce separate
Some links are affiliate links. If a reader follows one and makes a qualifying purchase, Hiinghams may earn a commission at no added cost to the reader.
Commission eligibility does not determine inclusion, ordering or the editorial conclusion. Brands and retailers do not receive favourable coverage in exchange for affiliate revenue.
Update when useful
Guides may be revised when products change, links stop working or better evidence becomes available. A meaningful revision should be reflected in the page’s update information.
Older guidance remains subject to current availability, pricing and safety information from the relevant manufacturer or retailer.
Corrections

Substantive corrections are reviewed against the available evidence and made where warranted. Learn more about Hiinghams or read the privacy notice.
