Affiliate Disclosure
Effective Date: June 10, 2026
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and digital publishing transparency standards, this page outlines how Desk & Console (https://deskandconsole.com) uses affiliate marketing programs to monetize content and remain a free resource for our readers.
We believe in absolute transparency with our audience. Please assume that any link pointing to a retail store, hardware manufacturer, or software provider on this website is an affiliate link. If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the seller. This comes at absolute zero additional cost to you.
What This Means For You
The price of the product remains exactly the same whether you use our link or navigate to the retailer’s store directly. These commissions are paid directly by the vendor out of their marketing budget, helping us cover the operating costs of hosting, technical management, research, and deep-dive content creation for our community.
1. Amazon Services LLC Associates Program
Desk & Console is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated websites. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Amazon, the Amazon logo, Endless, and the Endless logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
2. Other Affiliate Programs
In addition to Amazon, we also partner with other reputable networks and direct brands in the tech, PC gaming hardware, ergonomic furniture, and console accessory niches. These may include, but are not limited to:
- Impact Radius / Impact.com
- ShareASale
- CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction)
- Direct hardware brand referral setups
3. Absolute Editorial Independence
Our editorial integrity is the core foundation of Desk & Console. The small financial incentives we receive from affiliate conversions never dictate or alter our research, testing protocols, or final buying opinions.
We strictly evaluate products based on structure, functionality, ergonomics, build quality, and real-world value for gamers. If a particular gaming desk, console modification, or peripheral does not meet high operational standards, we will explicitly point out its flaws, even if it hurts an potential affiliate partnership.
4. Use of Tracking Cookies
When you click on an affiliate link across our site, a tracking cookie is momentarily dropped by the corresponding ad network or merchant to credit our platform for the referral. These cookies do not collect deeply sensitive personal data, and their usage rules align completely with the core guidelines laid out in our main Privacy Policy.
