At Geeks Next, our readers’ trust is our most valuable asset. We believe in being 100% transparent about how we fund our work so we can continue to produce the high-quality, independent tech content you love. This policy explains our approach to advertising and affiliate relationships.
Our commitment to editorial integrity is absolute. Our opinions are our own, and they are not for sale.
Our Commitment to Honesty
Our primary goal is to provide valuable and trustworthy information. All content on Geeks Next is created for the benefit of our readers. Our editorial team has full control over our content, and our commercial relationships will never compromise the objectivity and honesty of our work.
Affiliate Marketing
Some of the links on our website are “affiliate links.” This means that if you click on the link and make a purchase from the linked-to vendor, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
- How it Works: We participate in affiliate programs, such as the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, which is an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
- Our Promise: Our participation in these programs does not influence the products we feature, our reviews, or our editorial judgment. We only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe will add value to our readers. The choice to make a purchase is always yours.
Display Advertising & Google AdSense
We use third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to display ads on our site. These ads help cover the costs of running Geeks Next.
- Google AdSense: As a third-party vendor, Google uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet.
- Your Choice: Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy. We strive to ensure that the ads displayed are relevant and non-intrusive, but we do not have direct control over the specific ads you see, as they are often based on your own browsing history.
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, we may partner with brands to publish sponsored articles or content. This type of content, while paid for by an advertiser, is always written and edited by our team to meet our editorial standards.
Any sponsored content will be clearly and prominently identified as such at the beginning of the post with a label like “Sponsored,” “Advertisement,” or “In collaboration with [Brand].” Even when sponsored, our content will reflect our honest opinions and experiences.
Product Reviews
Our product reviews are independent and based on our own research and testing. Sometimes, companies may send us products for review free of charge. However, this does not guarantee a positive review or any coverage at all. Our verdict is based solely on the product’s performance and value to the consumer.
If you have any questions about this policy, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@geeksnext.com.
