Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: September 3, 2026

In one sentence: some links on this site are affiliate links, and if you sign up or buy through one we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you, and it never changes what we recommend.

What an affiliate link is

An affiliate link is a normal link to another company's product or service — for example a VPN — with a tracking code attached that tells that company the visit came from findWhatIsMyIP.com. If you then take a paid action on their site (such as buying a subscription), the company pays us a small referral commission.

The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go to the company directly. You are never charged more for using an affiliate link.

Cookies set by affiliate links

When you click an affiliate link, the destination company or its affiliate network may place a cookie in your browser so that a later sign-up can be credited to us. Points worth knowing:

  • These cookies are set by the third party, not by findWhatIsMyIP.com, and only when you actually click an affiliate link.
  • They typically last from about 24 hours to 90 days, depending on the program.
  • You can stop them by declining non-essential cookies in our cookie banner, by not clicking affiliate links, or by blocking third-party cookies in your browser. The links still work — we simply will not be credited.

What data is and isn't shared is covered in our Privacy Policy. In short: we never receive your name, payment details, or account information — only aggregate reports that a referral converted.

Programs we may use

This site may participate in affiliate programs run directly by VPN providers — such as NordVPN and Proton VPN — and by affiliate networks such as Impact and CJ Affiliate. This list may change over time; any company we have an affiliate relationship with is disclosed here and, where relevant, next to the link itself.

Our commitment

  • We only link to products we would be comfortable recommending regardless of any commission.
  • A commission never buys a placement, a rating, or a kinder review.
  • Wherever an affiliate link appears in our content, it is labelled as one nearby, so you always know before you click.

This disclosure is provided in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255).
