How Oddly Useful Is Funded
Oddly Useful is a free, independent digital utility. To keep all calculation engines and awkward-life tools completely free and accessible without paywalls or subscription barriers, the site is funded through standard display advertising (Google AdSense).
Our Advertising Standards & Principles
We believe digital tools should be transparent, useful, and respectful of your attention. We follow strict standards for any advertising served on this site:
- Zero Impact on Calculations: Advertisements never influence, alter, or bias any calculation formula, result, or editorial benchmark. Every tool computes deterministically in your browser.
- Clear Visual Separation: All display ads are clearly marked and segregated from interactive calculators, input forms, and results. We never place ads where they can be mistaken for site navigation or calculator buttons.
- No Deceptive Layouts: We never use layout shifts, popups, or deceptive formatting intended to cause accidental clicks.
- Privacy Respect: Calculations run client-side. We do not sell or log your entered inputs to ad networks. Third-party ad cookies and consent are governed under our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.
