Cook Max ("CookMax", "we", "our", "us") is a free, independent recipe and cooking app. To help cover hosting and development costs, we participate in several affiliate programmes — most notably the Amazon Associates Programme and the Flipkart Affiliate Programme, and we may join others over time.
1. What this means
Some links on CookMax — typically to ingredients, kitchen tools, appliances or cookbooks — are affiliate links. If you click one of those links and make a purchase, the retailer may pay us a small commission. This happens at no extra cost to you; the price you pay is the same.
2. Our editorial policy
- We only recommend products we would genuinely use in our own kitchens.
- Affiliate relationships never decide which recipes we publish or how we describe them.
- We do not accept paid placements inside recipe steps, ingredient lists or cooking notes.
- If a product underperforms in real-world testing, we remove the link.
3. Amazon Associates Programme disclosure
As an Amazon Associate, CookMax earns from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
4. Flipkart Affiliate Programme disclosure
CookMax is a participant in the Flipkart Affiliate Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn commissions by linking to Flipkart.com.
5. Other partnerships
From time to time we may link to other retailers, ingredient brands or cooking-equipment makers under similar affiliate or referral arrangements. Whenever a link earns us a commission, we treat it as an affiliate link under this disclosure.
6. Your choice
You are never obliged to use affiliate links. You can always search for any product directly on the retailer's site instead. If you do choose to use our links, thank you — it genuinely helps keep CookMax free.
