StrataSpace

An antivirus reference library for readers in Australia

Affiliate Disclosure

Effective date: 21 September 2026

In one paragraph

StrataSpace carries paid links. One product covered in this library — Norton AntiVirus Plus — is linked through an affiliate arrangement, and if you follow that link and later subscribe on the vendor’s own site, the vendor pays FOKUSON STAV s.r.o. a commission. You pay the same price you would have paid arriving any other way. The commission does not determine what is written here, what is covered, or the order in which it appears.

Who is paid, and by whom

The publisher, FOKUSON STAV s.r.o., receives the commission. It is paid by the vendor, through an affiliate network that administers the arrangement and tracks referrals. It is not paid by you, and it is not added to your price — a referral fee comes out of the vendor’s own marketing budget, which is how this form of advertising works.

Because the fee arises only on a completed subscription, the arrangement is described as performance-based. Reading this page, or following the link and not subscribing, earns us nothing.

What the arrangement does and does not include

The boundaries of the commercial relationship behind this site.
The arrangement includesThe arrangement does not include
A tracking link we may publishAny right for the vendor to review, approve or change what is published here
A commission on completed subscriptionsPayment for coverage, for positioning, or for particular wording
Aggregate reporting of referrals and commissionsInformation identifying any individual reader
Nothing elseReview copies, product access, technical briefings, test data, or support obligations

That last row explains why the product entry is written the way it is. We have a link, not a relationship that would let us verify features, prices or performance — so the entry states what we can state and lists what we cannot.

What determines coverage, since the commission does not

Three things, in this order.

What the reader needs to understand the category. Six of the seven entries in this library name no commercial product at all. They exist because the concepts — detection methods, malware categories, platform defences, comparison method, scam patterns, consumer rights — are what make a purchasing decision intelligible, and they are written to be useful with every link on this site removed.

What can be verified. A fact is published when it can be sourced or reasoned to; otherwise the page says it is not verified and points to where the answer lives. This constraint binds hardest on the one page where a commercial interest exists, which is the point.

Dependency order. The entries are sequenced so that ideas follow the ideas they rely on. The product entry sits last in that sequence rather than first, and it is not repeated across pages it has nothing to do with.

Coverage of products, as distinct from concepts, is narrow and commercially determined: the one product covered is the one we have an arrangement with. We say so rather than implying a market survey we have not conducted. A product not appearing here means we have no arrangement with its vendor — nothing more.

How paid links are marked

  • A disclosure in plain language sits immediately beside every paid link, before you click it, in ordinary body text rather than small print.
  • A disclosure box appears in the upper part of the home page, above the first paid link on the site.
  • Every paid link points directly at the destination address, visible in your browser’s status bar when you hover. Nothing is routed through a redirect on this domain, assembled by JavaScript when you click, or hidden behind a cloaking address.
  • Every paid link carries rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" in its markup, which tells search engines the link is commercial, and opens in a new tab.
  • The page you see is the page everyone sees. Nothing on this site changes according to where you arrived from, what browser you use, or which country you are in.

What we learn about you from a click

Nothing that identifies you. The affiliate network reports referrals and commissions to us in aggregate. We are not told who followed a link, and we could not match a report to a person in any case, because this site sets no cookies, runs no analytics and collects nothing — as set out in the privacy policy and the cookie policy.

Once you leave this site, the destination’s own privacy practices apply, and they are not ours. The network and the vendor will record the referral on their own systems under their own policies.

If you would rather not use the link

Then do not. Search for the product name and go to the vendor directly, or type its address. Your price, your subscription and your rights are identical; the only difference is that we are not paid. The library is free to read either way and nothing here is withheld behind a click.

Other commercial arrangements

There are none. This site carries no display advertising, no sponsored posts, no paid guest articles, no paid link insertions and no advertising network. It sells nothing, has no newsletter and no subscriber list. The single affiliate arrangement described on this page is the whole of the site’s commercial activity, and if that ever changed, this page would be updated before the change took effect.

Trademarks

StrataSpace is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them.
