House rules

Affiliate disclosure.

RodHat 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. As an Amazon Associate, RodHat earns from qualifying purchases. Our commercial recommendations use Amazon exclusively, for books and gear.

What that means

When you click an Amazon link on this site (routed through /go/<id>/) and make a qualifying purchase, RodHat may receive a commission. The price you pay is identical to what you'd pay otherwise.

What it doesn't mean

No brand has paid for a mention. No tool has been recommended because it paid to be recommended; it's recommended because he uses it or has an opinion about it, and the affiliate link is how that opinion gets monetized after the fact, not before.

Cookies & tracking

Outbound Amazon links carry a tag=rodhat-20 query parameter for attribution. Analytics (Google Analytics 4) fires only after you explicitly accept the cookie banner, with IP anonymization on and Google Signals / ad personalization off. We do not sell or share visitor data.
