Citing a Website
Content from websites and web pages can usually be cited in the text or in a note rather than in a bibliography. If you can’t find a publication date, include an updated date or revision date (see also 13.16 This link opens in a new window). If none of those dates can be found, include an access date (see 13.15 This link opens in a new window).

General Format for Note
1. “Title of Web Page,” Owner or Sponsor of the site, publication/revision/update or access date if available, URL.
For Example
1. “Microsoft Privacy Statement,” Microsoft, updated February 2023, https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement.
2. “About Yale: Yale Facts,” Yale University, accessed March 8, 2022, https://www.yale.edu/about-yale/yale-facts.
Corresponding Bibliography Entries
Microsoft Corporation. “Microsoft Privacy Statement.” Updated February 2023. https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement.
Yale University. “About Yale: Yale Facts.” Accessed March 8, 2022. https://www.yale.edu/about-yale/yale-facts.
