The Digital Wise (“we”, “us”, or “our”) believes in being upfront with our readers about how we operate and how we are funded. This Affiliate Disclosure explains our use of affiliate links on thedigitalwise.com (the “Site”) in plain language.
What affiliate links are
An affiliate link is a special tracking link to a product or service. If you click one and then make a purchase or sign up, we may receive a small commission from the retailer or provider. This comes at no additional cost to you; you pay the same price you would have paid otherwise. Affiliate commissions help support our independent journalism and keep our coverage of movies, web series, and sports free to read.
Where these links appear
Because we cover entertainment and sport, the affiliate links you encounter on the Site may include:
- OTT and streaming subscriptions, where signing up to a platform we mention may earn us a commission.
- Ticketing for films, events, and matches.
- Merchandise such as Blu-rays, books, team kits, and other related products.
Not every link on the Site is an affiliate link, and we only ever point you towards products and services that are relevant to what you are reading.
Our editorial independence
This is the part that matters most: affiliate relationships never influence our editorial opinions, reviews, ratings, or verdicts. We do not recommend a film, series, subscription, or product because it earns us a commission, and a brand cannot buy a better review. Our writers form their views independently, and our coverage would read exactly the same with or without affiliate links. If we criticise something, we will say so, regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with it.
Clear disclosure
We aim to be transparent wherever affiliate links appear, and we disclose our use of them on this page and where appropriate within our content. We follow the principle that readers deserve to know when a link may earn us money so you can make informed choices. Sponsored or paid content, which is different from affiliate links, is always clearly labelled as well; you can learn more on our Advertise With Us page.
If you have any questions about how affiliate links work on the Site, please contact us at editorial@thedigitalwise.com. You may also wish to read our Disclaimer for more about how to interpret our content.
