At redlightglow.co.uk, we are committed to transparency and honesty with our readers. This Affiliate Policy explains how we use affiliate links, how we earn commissions, and how this affects the content you see on our site. Please read this policy carefully. By using our website, you consent to the practices described below.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that track referrals from our website to a retailer’s website (such as Amazon, eBay, or specialised beauty and wellness stores). When you click on an affiliate link on redlightglow.co.uk and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This commission helps us maintain the website, create high-quality content, and continue providing free, unbiased information about red light therapy products.
Important: The price you pay for the product is exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer’s website.
Our Affiliate Programmes
We participate in several affiliate programmes, including but not limited to:
- Amazon EU Associates Programme (Amazon.co.uk) – an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk.
- ShareASale, AWIN, CJ Affiliate, and other networks – we may partner with various brands and retailers that sell red light therapy devices, LED masks, foot massagers, TENS machines, and related wellness products.
We only promote products that we genuinely believe may be helpful to our readers based on our research, analysis, and hands-on testing (where possible). However, we are not responsible for the quality, safety, or efficacy of any product purchased through an affiliate link. Please read the retailer’s terms and conditions before making a purchase.
Disclosure of Affiliate Relationships
In compliance with the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidelines and the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations, we clearly disclose our affiliate relationships in the following ways:
- General Disclosure: This Affiliate Policy is permanently available on our website, usually in the footer or a dedicated page.
- In-Content Disclosure: Within blog posts, reviews, comparison tables, and “best of” articles, we include a clear statement near the top or bottom of the page, such as:“This post contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.”
- Product Links: When we link to a product on a retailer’s site, the link may be an affiliate link. We do not mark every single link with a separate disclosure, as the general disclosure covers all links on the page.
- Sponsored Content: If a post is sponsored by a brand (i.e., we are paid to write about a product), we will clearly label it as “sponsored” or “paid partnership” at the beginning of the article.
How Affiliate Links Affect Our Content
Our editorial content is not influenced by affiliate partnerships. We strive to provide honest, unbiased reviews and comparisons based on:
- Independent research and analysis of product specifications.
- User reviews and feedback from multiple sources.
- Hands-on testing (where we have access to products).
- Expert opinions and clinical evidence.
We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews. However, we may receive free products for review purposes. In such cases, we will disclose that information within the review.
We may earn higher or lower commissions from different retailers, but that does not affect which products we recommend or how we rank them.
No Additional Cost to You
Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay for any product. The retailer pays us a commission out of their own margin. You pay the same price as you would if you went directly to the retailer’s website.
Third-Party Retailers and Cookies
When you click an affiliate link, a small text file (cookie) may be placed on your browser by the affiliate network or retailer. This cookie tracks your activity (e.g., that you came from our site) for a limited period (usually 24 hours to 30 days). This allows the retailer to credit us for any qualifying purchases you make during that session.
We do not have access to any personal information that you provide to the retailer. The retailer’s own privacy policy governs how they handle your data.
Your Responsibility
You are not obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer not to support our site financially, you can:
- Search for the product name directly on the retailer’s website.
- Use a different search engine or private browsing mode to avoid affiliate tracking.
We appreciate your support when you use our links, as it helps us keep the site running.

Red light therapy devices, LED masks, and other products discussed on this site are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
