We show ads — how we keep the tools free

Google AdSense ads appear on tool pages and news pages. Keeping the tools open with no sign-up, no payment and no usage limits costs server money, and ads cover that cost. We keep adjusting where ads go and how many there are so they never cover the input fields or the results.

Where the ads are

There are ad slots above the calculator or converter and below the results. ROBERIN does not choose which ads you see. Google decides the ad content; ROBERIN only decides where the slots go. The same page may show different ads depending on who is looking and when.

Why ads

We wanted tools that work the moment you open the page, with nothing to install and no login. So there is no account, no payment and no daily usage cap, and that will not change.

The server, the domain and storage do cost money every month, though. Right now ad revenue covers those costs, and that is what keeps the tools free. There is no paid plan to remove ads. We are not going to start asking you to pay to run a single calculation.

We keep trimming and realigning the slots

Even with ads on the page, nothing should get in the way of finishing a calculation. We keep the space between the input fields and the results clear, and we never wedge an ad into the middle of the results you're reading. We also reserve the height of each ad slot in advance so text and buttons don't jump around late.

On a narrow phone screen the same ad feels much bigger. We're going through the tools one by one, reducing the number of ads on small screens and re-spacing them against the content.

You can turn off personalized ads yourself

Google and its partners may use cookies to display ads. If you turn off ad personalization in your Google ad settings, you'll see general ads instead of interest-based ones. That setting lives in your Google account and browser, not on ROBERIN, and it doesn't affect how the tools work. You can also turn off optional cookies in the cookie settings in the footer.

If an ad covers a button or hides a result, let us know through the contact page along with the page URL.
