Last Updated: August 15, 2026
TachiyomiDownload.com may use advertising to support the operation, maintenance, research, hosting, and continued development of the website.
This Advertisement Policy explains how advertising may appear on TachiyomiDownload.com, how advertisements are distinguished from editorial content, how third-party advertising services may operate, and the principles we follow when accepting or displaying advertising.
TachiyomiDownload.com is an independent informational website covering Tachiyomi, its history, versions, installation, extensions, troubleshooting, backups, migration, alternatives, and related software.
We are not the official Tachiyomi project, its original development team, or an official Tachiyomi representative.
1. Purpose of Advertising
Running an informational website involves ongoing costs.
These may include:
- Web hosting
- Domain registration
- Security
- Website development
- Content research
- Technical maintenance
- Software
- Content production
- Analytics
- Backup systems
- Performance optimization
Advertising may help offset these costs and allow TachiyomiDownload.com to continue publishing free informational content.
Advertising revenue does not change the independent status of the website.
We aim to keep advertising separate from our editorial decisions.
2. Advertising and Editorial Content Are Different
Advertising and editorial content serve different purposes.
Editorial content includes articles, guides, tutorials, comparisons, explanations, reviews, and other information created for readers.
Advertising content is promotional material displayed because an advertiser or advertising platform has purchased or otherwise enabled advertising space.
The presence of an advertisement does not mean that TachiyomiDownload.com agrees with every claim made by the advertiser.
Likewise, an editorial article should not be treated as advertising simply because the article mentions a product, application, website, or service.
We aim to make this distinction clear.
3. Third-Party Advertising Networks
TachiyomiDownload.com may use third-party advertising networks to display advertisements.
An advertising network may automatically determine which advertisements are shown based on factors such as:
- Page content
- General location
- Browser information
- Device information
- Previous interactions
- Advertising preferences
- Cookies or similar technologies
- Advertiser targeting settings
The advertisements displayed to individual visitors may therefore differ.
TachiyomiDownload.com does not necessarily select each individual advertisement displayed through an automated advertising network.
4. Google AdSense and Similar Services
TachiyomiDownload.com may use Google AdSense or another advertising platform.
If such a service is active, the advertising provider may use cookies, identifiers, contextual information, or similar technologies to serve or measure advertisements.
Advertising practices can vary depending on:
- Visitor location
- Browser configuration
- Consent settings
- Advertising provider
- Available advertising inventory
- User preferences
- Applicable privacy regulations
Where required, appropriate consent mechanisms may be used.
The applicable privacy practices of the advertising provider should also be reviewed by users.
5. Personalized Advertising
Some advertising networks may provide personalized advertising.
Personalized advertising can use information such as general browsing behavior, advertising interactions, device information, or other signals permitted by the advertising provider.
Not every advertisement shown on TachiyomiDownload.com will necessarily be personalized.
Depending on the visitor’s location and applicable law, users may have options to control advertising personalization or consent preferences.
Users can also review the controls offered by the relevant advertising provider.
6. Contextual Advertising
Advertisements may also be selected based on the content of the page rather than individual browsing behavior.
For example, an article about Android applications may display advertisements related to mobile software, technology, or other relevant categories.
Contextual advertising does not necessarily mean that the advertiser has reviewed or approved the editorial content of the page.
7. Direct Advertising
TachiyomiDownload.com may eventually offer direct advertising opportunities.
These may include:
- Banner advertisements
- Display placements
- Sponsored placements
- Promotional graphics
- Newsletter placements
- Software-related promotions
- Relevant service advertisements
Any direct advertising arrangement should be clearly distinguished from independent editorial content.
Advertisers do not automatically receive editorial control over articles because they purchase advertising space.
8. Sponsored Content
If TachiyomiDownload.com publishes sponsored content, it should be identified as sponsored or promotional content where appropriate.
Sponsored content should not be presented as independent editorial content without disclosure.
Where a sponsor has paid for an article, placement, review, or other promotional material, the commercial relationship should be made clear.
Payment does not automatically guarantee a positive editorial conclusion.
We reserve the right to reject sponsored content that is misleading, unsafe, deceptive, illegal, or inconsistent with the website’s standards.
9. Affiliate Advertising
TachiyomiDownload.com may use affiliate links.
An affiliate link may generate a commission if a visitor completes a qualifying action after clicking the link.
Affiliate relationships can help support the website without charging readers directly.
Where affiliate relationships are relevant, they should be disclosed appropriately.
The existence of an affiliate relationship does not mean that the linked product, service, application, or website is automatically recommended.
Editorial decisions should remain based on usefulness, relevance, evidence, and the subject of the article.
10. No Payment for Search Rankings
Advertisers cannot purchase a guaranteed position in Google Search through TachiyomiDownload.com.
Advertising placement on this website is separate from organic search rankings.
Paying for an advertisement does not guarantee:
- Higher Google rankings
- Better organic visibility
- A featured position in search results
- A positive editorial review
- Inclusion in every article
- A backlink designed to manipulate search rankings
Search performance is influenced by many factors outside the control of advertisers or this website.
11. No Guaranteed Editorial Coverage
Purchasing advertising space does not automatically result in editorial coverage.
For example, an advertiser may purchase a banner advertisement without receiving:
- A review
- A comparison
- A recommendation
- A dedicated article
- A favorable mention
- A homepage editorial feature
Advertising and editorial decisions are treated separately.
If an advertiser’s product is discussed editorially, the article should be evaluated according to its own merits.
12. Advertising Standards
We may reject advertisements that we believe are inappropriate for our audience or inconsistent with the website’s standards.
This may include advertisements that are:
- Deceptive
- Misleading
- Fraudulent
- Malicious
- Designed to distribute malware
- Designed to impersonate another service
- Promoting illegal activity
- Inconsistent with applicable law
- Misrepresenting software
- Using deceptive download buttons
- Misleading users about official Tachiyomi status
We may also reject advertisements that create unnecessary confusion between third-party products and the original Tachiyomi project.
13. Software and APK Advertisements
Because TachiyomiDownload.com discusses software, advertisements involving applications or APK files require particular caution.
We do not want an advertisement to create the false impression that a third-party application is an official Tachiyomi release.
An advertisement may not claim to be:
- An official Tachiyomi update
- An official Tachiyomi developer
- An official Tachiyomi extension
- An official Tachiyomi successor
unless there is credible evidence supporting that claim.
Advertisements should not intentionally mislead users about the identity or origin of software.
14. Download Button Advertisements
Download-related websites commonly use advertisements that resemble software download buttons.
TachiyomiDownload.com does not intend to intentionally disguise advertisements as editorial download links.
Where advertising is displayed near a download-related section, users should be able to distinguish advertising from the actual informational content.
Advertisers should not use deceptive interface elements designed to make users believe an advertisement is an official software download.
15. Malware and Security
We do not knowingly accept advertisements intended to distribute malware, malicious software, phishing pages, harmful scripts, or other malicious content.
However, automated advertising systems can sometimes display advertisements through third-party infrastructure that may change dynamically.
For this reason, we cannot guarantee that every advertisement displayed through an external advertising network will always remain free from security issues.
If a suspicious advertisement is identified, we may investigate, report it to the relevant advertising provider, or take appropriate steps to prevent further display where technically possible.
Users should avoid downloading unknown files or providing credentials to suspicious websites.
16. Advertising and Privacy
Advertising may involve cookies, identifiers, pixels, scripts, or similar technologies.
These technologies may be used for purposes such as:
- Delivering advertisements
- Measuring advertising performance
- Preventing fraud
- Limiting repeated advertisements
- Understanding advertising interactions
- Personalizing advertisements where permitted
Our Privacy Policy provides additional information about cookies, analytics, advertising services, and data processing.
Third-party advertising providers may have their own privacy policies and controls.
17. Advertising Choices
Depending on the advertising provider and your location, you may have options to manage advertising preferences.
These may include:
- Cookie consent settings
- Browser cookie controls
- Personalized advertising controls
- Advertising provider preference tools
- Device privacy settings
Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality or advertising personalization.
The exact options available depend on the technologies being used and the visitor’s jurisdiction.
18. Advertising Does Not Equal Endorsement
An advertisement appearing on TachiyomiDownload.com does not necessarily mean that we endorse the advertiser.
This distinction is particularly important for automatically generated advertisements.
For example, an advertisement for an Android application appearing beside an article about Tachiyomi does not mean that the application is associated with Tachiyomi.
Similarly, an advertisement for a download service does not mean that the service is an official Tachiyomi resource.
Users should evaluate third-party products and services independently.
19. Editorial Independence
Advertising revenue should not determine factual conclusions.
We do not intend to change accurate historical information simply because an advertiser disagrees with it.
We also do not intend to describe a third-party application as an official Tachiyomi project because the application’s owner purchases advertising space.
Our editorial policy remains separate from advertising arrangements.
For more information about how content is researched and reviewed, see our Editorial Policy.
20. Reviews and Advertisers
A company or project may advertise on the website while also being discussed in an editorial article.
These are separate relationships.
If we review or compare an advertised product, the editorial content should be based on the criteria relevant to that article.
An advertiser should not automatically receive a positive review simply because it purchased advertising.
Likewise, advertising status should not automatically result in negative editorial treatment.
21. Advertising Claims
Advertisers are responsible for the claims made in their promotional materials.
We may reject advertisements that contain claims that appear deceptive, unsupported, or materially misleading.
However, automated advertising platforms may control the exact wording and creative displayed to visitors.
If you believe an advertisement contains misleading or harmful information, please contact us with:
- Screenshot
- Advertisement description
- Page where it appeared
- Date and approximate time
- Any visible advertiser information
- Destination URL, if safe to provide
This information can help us investigate the issue.
22. External Advertisers
Advertisements may send users to websites that TachiyomiDownload.com does not own or operate.
Once you leave our website, the privacy practices, security practices, terms, and content of the destination website are controlled by the third party.
We do not guarantee:
- The security of external websites
- The accuracy of advertiser claims
- The availability of advertised products
- The quality of advertised services
- The privacy practices of advertisers
- The safety of third-party downloads
Users should conduct their own due diligence before interacting with an advertiser.
23. Advertising and Tachiyomi’s Name
TachiyomiDownload.com aims to prevent advertising from creating confusion regarding the identity of the original Tachiyomi project.
The original Tachiyomi project is no longer actively maintained.
Advertisements for newer applications, forks, successors, or unrelated software should not automatically be interpreted as advertisements from the original Tachiyomi project.
Where an advertisement uses the Tachiyomi name, users should independently verify the relationship between the advertiser and the original project.
24. Advertising Policy and Changes
The advertising methods used by TachiyomiDownload.com may change over time.
We may add or remove:
- Advertising networks
- Direct advertising
- Affiliate relationships
- Sponsored content
- Display placements
- Promotional partnerships
When our advertising practices materially change, this policy may be updated.
The “Last Updated” date will be revised when significant changes are made.
25. Reporting an Advertisement
If you encounter an advertisement that appears:
- Malicious
- Misleading
- Fraudulent
- Deceptive
- Unsafe
- Unrelated to the advertised destination
- Impersonating Tachiyomi
- Pretending to be an official Tachiyomi release
- Attempting to distribute suspicious software
please report it to us.
Send the report to:
Email: [CONTACT EMAIL]
Include as much information as possible without interacting further with a suspicious advertisement.
A screenshot is particularly useful if the advertisement is no longer visible.
26. No Guarantee of Individual Advertisements
Where advertisements are supplied through automated third-party networks, we cannot guarantee that we manually inspect every individual advertisement before it is displayed.
Advertising networks may dynamically change the advertisements shown to visitors.
We therefore cannot guarantee that every advertisement will always be appropriate, accurate, available, or secure.
We may take reasonable steps to report or restrict problematic advertising when it is brought to our attention.
27. User Responsibility
Users should exercise reasonable caution when interacting with online advertisements.
Before purchasing a product, installing software, submitting personal information, or creating an account through an advertisement, consider:
- Who operates the destination website
- Whether the website uses HTTPS
- Whether the company or project can be independently verified
- Whether the claims are supported
- Whether the software comes from a trusted source
- Whether the privacy policy is available
- Whether the terms are clear
- Whether the offer appears unusually good or urgent
An advertisement appearing on our website does not remove the need for these checks.
28. Relationship With Our Privacy Policy
This Advertisement Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy explains how personal and technical information may be processed.
This Advertisement Policy explains the general principles governing advertising and commercial placements.
If the website’s advertising technology changes, both policies may be updated where necessary.
29. Questions About Advertising
For questions about advertising, sponsorships, affiliate relationships, or problematic advertisements, contact:

For correction requests concerning editorial content, please provide the specific article URL and supporting information.
For advertising reports, screenshots and information about the advertisement are helpful.
30. Final Statement
Advertising helps websites fund the infrastructure and work required to publish free information.
However, advertising should not create confusion about what is editorial content, what is promotional content, and what is officially associated with Tachiyomi.
TachiyomiDownload.com therefore aims to maintain a clear separation between advertising and editorial content.
We do not claim that advertisements are endorsements.
We do not treat advertisers as official Tachiyomi representatives.
We do not guarantee that every third-party advertisement or destination website is safe or accurate.
We do not allow advertising relationships to determine factual claims about Tachiyomi.
Where advertising is used, our goal is to provide a sustainable website while maintaining transparency with readers.
TachiyomiDownload.com is an independent informational website and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the original Tachiyomi project or its developers.
