🇬🇧 Amazon EU Associates Programme – Compliance Statement
Techstore1.co.uk (owned and operated by Techstore1, store ID: techstore064-20) is a participant in the Amazon EU Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk and any other Amazon EU sites. Our participation is fully declared, and we strictly follow the Amazon Associates Programme Operating Agreement, the Program Policies, and all applicable UK consumer laws (including the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008).
All product reviews and blog posts on this website are written by real tech enthusiasts and are based on independent testing, hands-on analysis and long-term usage. The inclusion of Amazon affiliate links never influences the substance, honesty or conclusions of our reviews. We take transparency seriously, which is why we display a clear affiliate disclosure both on this dedicated compliance page and near every affiliate link or review summary (using “*affiliate link*”, “#ad” or “#CommissionsEarned” markers).
🛡️ Our Commitment to Amazon’s Compliance Rules
🔗 Required Disclosures – Amazon & UK Law
To remain compliant with both the Amazon Associates Programme Operating Agreement and the UK’s Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (CPUTR) 2008, Techstore1.co.uk provides the following transparent disclosures:
- Native disclosure within each post: Every blog article containing Amazon affiliate links carries a plain‑English statement (e.g. “This page contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases – at no extra cost to you.”) placed before the first affiliate link.
- Inline markers for clarity: Individual affiliate links are often accompanied by “(paid link)”, “#ad”, or “#CommissionsEarned”, as recommended by the FTC/UK guidance to ensure even the most distracted visitor notices the commercial relationship[reference:0].
- Sound disclosure for video/voice content: If we ever publish video or audio reviews (YouTube, TikTok, podcasts), the disclosure will be spoken within the first 30 seconds and also visible on screen.

Techstore1.co.uk respects your privacy. We only collect personal information (such as email address) when you voluntarily sign up for our newsletter, leave a comment, or contact us via Support@Techstore1.co.uk.

📝 Content & Linking Guidelines (2026 Amazon update)
Following the April 14, 2026 revision of the Amazon Associates Operating Agreement, we have implemented:
- Original content definition: All product guides include meaningful analysis, personal experience or comparative testing — never just manufacturer specs or rephrased bullet points[reference:1].
- On‑site commission eligibility: We understand that commissions only apply to direct qualifying purchases of the same ASIN variant as the linked product page[reference:2].
- No paid ads to Amazon: We strictly avoid any Google, Bing, or social media ads that contain affiliate links, and we do not “boost” posts that link to Amazon[reference:3].
