To get an unnumbered footnote in LaTeX, one has to define a new command based on the original \footnotetext{} command.

Step 1: Define the following anywhere in your code, or in your definition file if it happens that you use one.

\def\unnumfootnote{\xdef\@thefnmark{}\@footnotetext}

Step 2: You can start using \unnumfootnote{your text} instead of \footnote{your text} to generate unnumbered footnotes.
