When you read something on our website and click a link to buy a product, we want you to know: some of those links are affiliate links. This means if you buy that product, we earn a small commission.
This page explains what that means, how it works, and what it means for you. We keep this page here because we believe you deserve to know exactly how this website works. There are no hidden surprises.
Amazon Affiliate Disclosure
Toolkit Pro is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, which is an affiliate advertising program. It is designed to provide a way for websites to earn money by linking to products on Amazon.com.
This means: when you click an Amazon link on this website and buy something, Amazon pays us a small percentage of the sale price. This commission comes from Amazon — not from you. You pay exactly the same price whether you use our link or go to Amazon directly.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. We want you to know this clearly, as required by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) in the United States and similar laws in other countries.
How Much Commission Do We Earn?
Amazon pays different commission rates depending on what product category is purchased. Here's a quick overview:
| Product Category | Commission Rate |
|---|---|
| Luxury Beauty, Amazon Coins | 10% |
| Books, Kitchen, Automotive, DIY | 4–5% |
| Clothing, Shoes, Home, Garden | 3–4% |
| Electronics, Cameras, Computers | 2.5–3% |
| Video Games, Health & Personal Care | 1–2% |
For example: if you buy a $50 product in a category that pays 4% commission, we earn $2.00. That's it. The rest goes to Amazon and the seller.
How Do Affiliate Links Actually Work?
Here's a simple step-by-step of what happens when you click one of our affiliate links:
Step 1 — You click the link
You click a product link on our blog or resource page. The link contains a special tracking code that tells Amazon the visitor came from Toolkit Pro.
Step 2 — Amazon tracks your visit for 24 hours
Amazon places a cookie on your browser that lasts 24 hours. If you buy anything on Amazon within that 24-hour window — not just the product we linked to — we earn a commission on your entire order.
Step 3 — You buy something (or not)
You decide to buy or not. There's never any pressure. We recommend products because they're genuinely helpful — not just to earn money. If you don't buy, that's perfectly fine.
Step 4 — Amazon pays us a commission
If you do buy, Amazon pays us a small percentage. This money goes toward server hosting, domain costs, and development time — so we can keep all tools on Toolkit Pro free for everyone.
Step 5 — Your price never changes
You pay exactly the same amount you would have paid going to Amazon directly. The affiliate commission is paid by Amazon out of their own revenue. It costs you nothing at all.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running a website costs money. Toolkit Pro uses real server hosting, a registered domain, and significant development time. We have two ways we pay for these costs:
- Google AdSense ads — You may see ads on some pages. When you visit a page, Google shows relevant ads. If you click one, we earn a small amount. This costs you nothing.
- Amazon affiliate commissions — When we recommend a product and you buy it through our link, we earn a small commission from Amazon.
These two income sources allow us to keep every tool on Toolkit Pro completely free, with no subscriptions, no sign-ups, and no hidden fees. Without them, we would need to charge users or shut down.
Our Promise to You
Affiliate commissions never influence what we recommend. We only recommend products we genuinely believe are useful and good quality. We write honest reviews and honest blog posts. If something isn't good, we won't recommend it just to earn a commission — that would betray your trust, and your trust is worth more than any commission.
Honest Recommendations Only
Before we include an affiliate link for any product, we ask ourselves these questions:
- Is this product genuinely useful for our readers?
- Does it have good reviews from real buyers?
- Would we recommend this product even if there was no commission?
- Is the price fair and reasonable for what you get?
If the answer is "no" to any of these, we don't recommend the product — simple as that. We'd rather earn nothing than steer you toward something that wastes your money.
Google AdSense
This website also uses Google AdSense, a service that displays ads on web pages. Google uses cookies and browsing data to show ads that are relevant to you. This is called "interest-based advertising."
You can control interest-based ads or opt out through Google's Ad Settings at adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of third-party cookies through the Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org.
Your Privacy
We respect your privacy. When you use our tools (Image Compressor, Color Extractor, QR Generator, etc.), your files never leave your device. Everything runs inside your browser — we never see, store, or access your images or files.
However, like most websites, we do use cookies for analytics and advertising purposes. These are standard web cookies from Google Analytics and Google AdSense. Please see our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for full details.
Legal Requirements
This disclosure page is required by:
- FTC (Federal Trade Commission) guidelines in the United States, which require bloggers and content creators to disclose any material connection to advertisers or product sellers.
- Amazon Associates Program Terms of Service, which require all Associates to clearly disclose their participation in the program.
- ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) guidelines in the UK.
- Similar consumer protection laws in the EU, Australia, Canada, Pakistan, and other countries where our readers are based.
We take these requirements seriously. This disclosure is not just a legal checkbox — it's a reflection of how we believe websites should operate: with full transparency and respect for our readers.
