Disclosure

This page explains how Citation Generator is funded and how that does, and does not, affect what you see on generator-citation.com. It applies to the whole site.

How the site is funded

We keep the citation generator free by showing ads, which cover hosting and the work that goes into the site. We do not charge for the citation generator and do not ask you to register. Because ad income has nothing to do with what the citation generator calculates or suggests, there is no incentive to nudge your results.

Advertising

Ads on the site are served by third-party advertising networks. Ad selection is automated and handled by the networks, which take into account the page content and, where allowed, your browsing.

We do not pick individual ads, so an ad on a page is not an endorsement by Citation Generator. Details of the cookies involved are in our Privacy Policy.

No paid reviews or endorsements

We do not accept payment for reviews, rankings or endorsements. If a guide refers to a product, a brand or a technique, it does so because it helps explain the topic. Likewise, nobody can pay to have a fair criticism removed.

Paid placements

Any link that someone paid us to include is clearly labelled as sponsored. Such links are also marked nofollow (or rel=“sponsored”), so search engines do not treat them as editorial recommendations. Every other link is editorial and placed because it helps the reader.

How the guides are written

Advertisers have no say in the citation generator, its formulas or the guides. The guides exist to help people use the tool and understand its results, and advertising does not shape what they say. If we find a mistake, we correct it. If you spot one, let us know at [email protected].

Your side of the arrangement

In exchange for free access you will see ads, which we try to keep out of the way of the tool itself. Should an ad look misleading or inappropriate, tell us which page it appeared on and what it showed; we will pass the report to the ad network. The citation generator also works with an ad blocker turned on.
