HedgeLens may earn a commission when a reader follows a clearly marked affiliate link and completes a qualifying purchase. The reader does not pay HedgeLens.
How links are labelled
An active affiliate relationship is disclosed before the first commercial button. The link uses rel="sponsored nofollow noopener". If a programme is not approved or a tracking URL is missing, HedgeLens uses the clean retailer link and states that affiliate tracking is not active.
What commission does not change
Commission does not decide whether a product is covered, its evidence label, stated limitations or page order. Products with no affiliate relationship can be included when useful to the reader.
Prices and availability
Displayed prices are dated snapshots, not live guarantees. Stale prices are hidden automatically and the retailer remains the source of the final price, stock, delivery and warranty terms.
An affiliate button is activated only after programme approval and a valid tracking URL are stored. Until then, HedgeLens uses a clean retailer or manufacturer link and does not describe it as affiliate tracking.
What a reader will see
A disclosure appears before the first active commercial CTA. The link opens securely and carries rel="sponsored nofollow noopener". The destination retailer, source-check date and price status appear on the product record where available.
How commercial separation works
Products can be included without an affiliate programme. Commission rate is not a ranking field and cannot change evidence status, limitations or verdict copy. A supplied unit, sponsorship or paid placement would require a page-specific disclosure; it cannot purchase a positive conclusion.
Purchases, prices and support
HedgeLens does not sell the listed goods or process the order. The retailer controls checkout, stock, delivery, returns, warranty and final price. A displayed amount is a dated snapshot and is hidden after the configured freshness window. Readers should verify the final offer before purchase.
Planned launch control
The site remains in a non-launch state until owner identity, public contact details, programme approvals, tracking URLs, hosting and privacy configuration are verified. See editorial independence and the evidence method.
Cookies and measurement
HedgeLens measures outbound retailer clicks only through the configured analytics system and only after analytics consent. A retailer or affiliate network may apply its own tracking after a visitor follows a commercial link; its privacy and cookie terms govern that destination. The production cookie inventory must be verified after hosting, analytics and affiliate networks are configured.
Questions about a relationship
A reader should be able to identify the destination and commercial status before clicking. Questions about a product inclusion, supplied sample or relationship can be raised through the verified public contact route once the owner completes launch configuration. Factual concerns follow the corrections policy.
