Affiliate Disclosure & Link Policy
konio is a personal engineering knowledge project, not a corporation. To help support the hosting and maintenance of this project without relying on popups or intrusive ads, some pages may feature carefully selected affiliate links in the future.
1. How Affiliate Links Work Here
Some future pages may include clearly labeled affiliate links to engineering books, software, hardware, or learning resources. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, konio may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Every affiliate link will be clearly labeled (e.g., "Affiliate link" or "Sponsored") near the link or within the section so you always know where a link leads.
2. Strict Independence & Trust Guardrails
Trust is the foundation of any engineering tool. To protect that trust:
- Calculator Independence: Affiliate relationships or sponsorships will never influence calculator formulas, outputs, engineering conclusions, or technical explanations.
- Clean UI: Sponsored placements or affiliate links must not be hidden inside calculator input or result panels.
- Unrestricted Access: Core calculators, downloads, prompts, and articles remain completely accessible without needing to click or use any affiliate links.
- No Dark Patterns: You will never see popups, blocking overlays, hidden affiliate links, urgency/scarcity pressure, or deceptive native ads.
3. Current Status
At the time of this copy cleanup, no actual affiliate links are currently active or being added. This policy exists to set clear, transparent rules for any future placements.
