Affiliate disclosure

Some pages on this site link to equipment and pantry goods on Amazon. Those are affiliate links, and a purchase made through one may earn the site a small commission. Here is exactly how that works, and what it does not change.

What the links are

Tagliatelle.org participates in the Amazon Associates programme, an affiliate scheme that pays a small referral fee when a reader follows one of our links to Amazon and buys something. It costs you nothing extra — the price is identical whether you arrive through our link or type the address yourself. The commission comes out of Amazon's margin, not your pocket.

Affiliate links are marked in the underlying page with rel="sponsored", as search engines ask, and they open on Amazon. The recommendation boxes headed "Where to buy" and the occasional inline product link — a machine, a rolling pin, a wedge of Parmigiano — are the ones that carry a tag.

As an Amazon Associate

As an Amazon Associate, this site earns from qualifying purchases. The affiliate relationship is with Amazon and its regional storefronts only; the site is not paid by any manufacturer, brand, or shop to feature a product, and no company has editorial say over what is written here.

What it does not change

The editorial rule of this site is unchanged by the presence of a commission: no recipes that aren't Italian, no shortcuts that don't work, no claims without a source. The tools and ingredients we point to are the ones the text already argued for — the standard Bolognese kit, an Imperia or Marcato machine, soft-wheat tipo 00, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano. We do not recommend a product because it pays better, and we do not add products the article would not otherwise mention.

If a link ever steers you wrong, that is a fault worth hearing about. The commission is a way to keep the reference free to read; it is not the reason any given tool is on the page.

Analytics

The site uses Google Analytics to count visits in aggregate. It does not sell reader data and carries no third-party display advertising. Affiliate links are the only commercial element on the site.
