Privacy and affiliate disclosure

Last updated: 14 November 2026. This page is for a UK audience. The site is not yet taking payments or collecting emails for real — forms on these pages are stubs.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on Give it a Go will be affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission. It does not cost you any more. We recommend products and materials because they are useful for the job, not because a retailer pays a higher rate. Prices shown were checked on the date given on the page and may change.

Until live tracking links are in place, shop buttons are labelled [AFFILIATE LINK] and do not send you to a retailer. We will not invent or hide tracking URLs.

This disclosure is written to meet the spirit of the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) rules and Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidance on hidden ads and affiliate marketing: if we are paid when you buy, we say so clearly, near the links, in plain English — not only in a terms page.

Trader adverts

Local tradespeople will be able to pay for a featured spot on a guide or in an area. Those placements will be labelled as an advert. A “Find a local trade” button may also be an affiliate or referral link (for example to a lead platform such as Bark). If it is, we will say so on the button or directly beside it.

Display adverts

Guide pages have marked slots for a small number of display adverts. They are empty for now. We will not place adverts between individual steps of a how-to.

What we collect

When forms go live, we will collect the email address you give us for a printable checklist, and any optional opt-in to occasional DIY tips. Trader enquiries will include the name, contact details and message you send. We will use that information only to send what you asked for, to reply, and — if you have opted in — to send tips. You can unsubscribe at any time.

We do not currently set advertising or analytics cookies. If that changes, we will update this page and, where required, ask you first.
