The CNET editors choose the products and services we write about. When you apply via our links, we can get a commission. Advertiser information
CNET editors independently choose each product and service we cover. While we may not review all available financial companies or offers, we strive to make comprehensive, rigorous comparisons to highlight the best of them. For many of these products and services, we earn a commission. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may affect how ads and links appear on our site.
OK
We are an independent publisher. Our advertisers do not control our editorial content. All opinions, analyzes, reviews or recommendations expressed in editorial content are the sole responsibility of the author and have not been reviewed, approved or otherwise approved by the advertiser.
To support our work, we get paid in various ways to provide advertising services. For example, some advertisers pay us to show ads, others pay us when you click on certain links, and others pay us when you submit your information to request a quote or other offer information. CNET’s compensation is never tied to if you buy an insurance product. We do not charge for our services. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, can affect which ads and links appear on our site, and how, where and in what order ads and links appear.
Our insurance content may include references to or advertisements from our subsidiary HomeInsurance.com LLC, a licensed insurance manufacturer (NPN: 8781838). And HomeInsurance.com LLC may receive compensation from third parties if you choose to visit and make transactions on their website. However, all CNET editorial content is independently reviewed and developed without regard to our corporate relationship with HomeInsurance.com LLC or its advertiser relationships.
Our content may include summaries of insurance providers or their products or services. CNET is not an insurance agency or broker. We do not conduct insurance business in any way, and we do not attempt to sell insurance or ask or encourage you to apply for a particular type of insurance from a particular company.

In a digital world, information only matters if it is current, relevant and credible. We promise to do everything necessary to give you the information you need when you need it, to make our opinions fair and useful and to ensure that our facts are correct.
If a popular product is on store shelves, you can trust CNET for immediate comment and benchmark analysis as soon as possible. We promise to publish credible information we have as soon as we have it, during a product’s life cycle, from its first public announcement to the possible recall or emergence of a competing entity.
How do we know if we are fulfilling our mission? We constantly monitor our competitions, user activity and journalistic awards. We crawl and review blogs, websites, aggregators, RSS feeds and all other available resources, and editors at all levels of our organization continually review our coverage.
But you’re the last judge. We ask you to inform us when you find a fault, discover a gap in our coverage or have other suggestions for improvements. Readers are part of the CNET family, and the strength of that relationship is the ultimate test of our success. Find out more here.
