Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: May 2026
Cooling Insights is reader-supported. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission — at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep our guides free, independent, and thoroughly researched.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking URLs that tell a retailer (like Amazon) that we referred you to their site. If you make a purchase after clicking one of our links, the retailer pays us a small commission — typically 1% to 4% of the sale price. This does not increase the price you pay in any way.
Our Affiliate Partners
We currently participate in the following affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates India: Our primary affiliate partner. Most product links direct to Amazon.in.
- Flipkart Affiliate: Occasional product links to Flipkart for price comparison.
Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our content, rankings, or recommendations in any way. We recommend products based solely on field testing, real-world performance, and technician experience. No brand can pay for placement, favorable reviews, or higher rankings on Cooling Insights.
If a product has significant flaws, we say so — even if it means we earn no commission from that recommendation. Our reputation and your trust matter more than any single commission.
How We Choose Products to Review
Products featured on Cooling Insights are selected based on:
- Market popularity and buyer demand in India
- Availability through major Indian retailers
- Technical specifications relevant to Indian climate conditions
- Service network coverage across Tier-1, Tier-2, and Tier-3 cities
- Real-world feedback from our technician network
Identifying Affiliate Links
You can identify affiliate links by looking for a tag parameter in the URL (such as "?tag=cooin-21" on Amazon links). We also include a brief disclosure statement at the bottom of pages that contain affiliate links, and a more detailed disclosure on individual product review pages.
Non-Affiliate Content
Not all content on Cooling Insights contains affiliate links. Our troubleshooting guides, calculators, technical comparisons, and educational articles are completely free of affiliate links and exist solely to help you make informed decisions.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and Indian consumer protection standards. We believe in full transparency with our readers.
