Summary

  • No ads are currently shown. No ad units are configured on the site today.
  • There are no referral or affiliate links on the site at present, and nothing here is sponsored.
  • Advertising and referrals have no influence on what we publish; see the editorial policy.

This is how things stand today. When any of it changes, we update this page and note the change in the update log.

Advertising

The site is set up to show ads from Google AdSense. The AdSense script loads on every page of the site, including the simulator page, whether or not an ad is shown there. The one exception is the embeddable versions of the tools that other sites show in a frame: they carry no ads and no AdSense script. The site also publishes an ads.txt file naming its Google publisher account.

The page layouts for Help and the Learn articles have spaces for ads, but each is switched off until an ad network approves the site, so they stay empty. If ads are switched on, they will appear only on content pages, never among the simulator’s inputs, between a control and its result, or as full-page interstitials, and we will update this page.

Google may use cookies or similar technologies to personalize and measure ads under its own policies. Your simulator inputs and results are never sent to Google or to any advertiser. The privacy policy explains this and links to Google’s ad settings, where you can opt out of personalized advertising.

Referral and affiliate links

Currently there are none. The site does not earn commissions from products, providers or services it mentions. If referral links are ever added, they will:

  • appear only in a block labelled as next steps, never inside an explanation;
  • be marked as sponsored in their link attributes;
  • be listed on this page, with who pays and what for, before or when they go live.

Editorial independence

Advertisers and partners have no say in which topics we cover, which figures the simulator uses or what an article concludes. Articles are written from primary sources and the same sourced constants the simulator uses. No article is written, ranked or edited to favour a product or provider. Nothing on the site is paid content.
