Disclosures and independence

Amazon Associates

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Pages with Amazon product links identify them once in a clear disclosure before the first possible affiliate link. Amazon may pay a commission after a qualifying purchase. That possibility does not affect product eligibility, scores, or ordering.

Direct links only

Duck Checked uses direct Amazon product URLs. It does not cloak links, route visitors through an internal redirect, or link to an Amazon search page. When the approved Associate tag is not configured, public affiliate buttons stay unavailable.

No retailer catalog copy

The current guide does not display Amazon prices, ratings, reviews, images, descriptions, or availability. Editorial claims come from named manufacturer sources. Duck Checked does not imply endorsement by Amazon, Brother, or any marketplace named in a workflow guide.

Minimal outcome analytics

Google Analytics stays off unless the dedicated Duck Checked property is configured and you allow it. Before that choice, the Google tag does not load and no analytics data goes to Google. Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track also keeps it off.

When allowed, the site records page visits and a small fixed list of outcomes: starting or completing the finder, opening a guide, or following an affiliate link. Duck Checked sends the event name and a pathname without its query or fragment. Finder answers, product identifiers, searches, outbound destinations, page titles, identity, and free-form text are excluded.

Google Analytics assigns a first-party client ID and receives session statistics, approximate location, and browser and device information. Advertising personalization, Google signals, and broad automatic event collection remain disabled. The analytics choice can be changed from the site footer whenever analytics is configured.
