Plain English summary: Some links on this site earn us a small commission if you buy something — at no extra cost to you. This never influences what we recommend. We only link to products we'd genuinely suggest to a friend.
NorfolkWild.co.uk participates in affiliate advertising programmes designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to retailers and brands. When you click a link marked with a small ★ symbol, or any product link in our gear guides and reviews, and subsequently make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer.
This commission comes at no additional cost to you — the price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or visit the site directly.
| Programme | What we link to | Typical commission |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Associates (UK) | Outdoor gear, books, equipment | 1–5% depending on category |
| Awin / Affiliate Window | Outdoor clothing, footwear brands | Varies by advertiser |
| Direct brand partnerships | Occasionally negotiated directly | Varies |
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We do not accept payment for positive reviews, and we do not write reviews of products we haven't researched thoroughly. Where we link to products, it is because we genuinely believe they represent good value and quality for the activity described.
If we receive a product for free to review, we will always disclose this clearly within that article.
This disclosure is made in compliance with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines and the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. Affiliate links within articles are identified where practical.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, please contact us at hello@norfolkwild.co.uk.
