Affiliate disclosure
Last updated 22 September 2026
In one paragraph
pravator.online is free to read because advertisers pay us. Some links on this site are partner links. If you follow one and buy a subscription, the advertiser pays Bond-Art-Eko s.r.o. a commission. You pay exactly the same price as you would have paid going there directly — the commission comes out of the advertiser’s margin, not out of your pocket, and following our link never makes anything more expensive.
How you can tell which links are commercial
You should never have to guess. Every commercial link on this site carries all of the following, every time:
- A visible label in the button itself reading “Partner link · advertisement”, including in the sidebar.
- A note directly underneath the button saying that we earn a commission and that it costs you nothing extra.
- A disclosure box at the start of the article, before any promotional content appears.
- A bar at the very top of every page, above everything else on the page.
- The
rel="sponsored nofollow noopener"attribute in the underlying HTML, which is the machine-readable form of the same disclosure. You can confirm it with “view source”.
If you find a commercial link on this site that is missing any of those, that is a bug and we want to know: info@pravator.online.
What happens technically when you click
A partner link goes first to a short internal address on this domain, which forwards you to the advertiser. That step exists so the link can be maintained in one place. It sets no cookie and stores nothing on your device.
If the address you arrived on carried an advertising click identifier — a
msclkid, gclid or utm_ parameter added by the platform that
showed you the ad — that parameter is copied onto the outgoing link so the advertiser can
attribute the visit to the right campaign. It is a URL parameter, visible in your address bar,
passed at the moment of the click. It is not a cookie. Nothing is written to your device at any
point. See the cookie policy.
Once you arrive at the advertiser’s site, their rules apply: their cookies, their consent banner, their privacy policy. We have no control over that side and we do not pretend to.
What the commission buys — and what it does not
It buys: the time to research and write, the server, and the domain. That is the whole list.
It does not buy:
- a favourable conclusion;
- the removal of a criticism — the article this site is built around states plainly that the advertised product lacks the VPN and identity monitoring many buyers assume it has, that we publish no score for it, and that the protection built into a patched Windows or macOS machine may be enough;
- advance sight of an article, or any right to review, approve or edit it;
- a position in a ranking — we publish no rankings;
- a testimonial, a star rating or an award, none of which we produce at all.
This is set out as a binding editorial commitment in the editorial policy.
What we know about you as a result
Almost nothing, by design. Our advertising partner reports aggregate commission totals. We are not told who you are, what you bought, what you paid or what your email address is. We run no analytics and set no cookies, so we cannot see which links are clicked. We know the money arrived; we do not know who sent it.
Why we disclose more than the minimum
Because an undisclosed commercial link is a lie by omission, and because a reader who knows how a page is funded can weigh it properly. A disclosure buried in a footer nobody scrolls to is a technicality; a disclosure above the article, above the fold and under every button is the real thing. We would rather lose a click than earn one from someone who did not know what they were clicking.
