Advertising Terms
OldEnglishDictionary.net may display advertising to support the cost of hosting, maintaining, and improving this free dictionary resource.
1. Display Advertising
We use Google AdSense and may use other advertising services to show ads on the site. Ads may appear between content sections, within lists, or near reference material, but we aim to keep placements visually consistent and avoid interfering with search, navigation, and dictionary reading.
2. Personalized and Non-Personalized Ads
Depending on your location, consent choices, browser settings, and advertising provider policies, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Advertising providers may use cookies, identifiers, and contextual information to deliver ads, measure performance, detect fraud, and comply with legal obligations.
3. Affiliate Links and Sponsorships
Some pages may include affiliate links, sponsorships, or paid placements. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Any sponsored placement or affiliate relationship that materially affects a recommendation will be disclosed where practical.
4. Editorial Independence
Advertising does not determine dictionary definitions, word listings, source abbreviations, or educational explanations. We aim to keep editorial and reference content separate from advertising. Ads are provided by third parties and do not necessarily reflect our views or endorsement.
5. Third-Party Advertisers
Third-party advertisers are responsible for the content of their ads, landing pages, products, and services. We do not control every ad shown by advertising networks. If you see an inappropriate or misleading advertisement, please send us the page URL, screenshot, and approximate time so we can review it.
6. Ad Placement Standards
- Ads should not disguise themselves as dictionary entries, search results, or navigation controls.
- Ads should not require users to click in order to access ordinary dictionary content.
- Ads should be placed at natural reading breaks or list intervals where possible.
- Ads may be adjusted, removed, or relocated to improve user experience or comply with advertising policies.
7. User Choices
You can manage cookies through your browser settings and use available advertising controls from Google or other providers to manage ad personalization. For more information about data use on this site, please read our Privacy Policy.
