This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how The Omics Hub uses them, and what choices you have regarding their use. For any questions, please reach out via our Contact page.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners. Cookies do not contain viruses or executable code.
How We Use Cookies
This site uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential functionality: Cookies required for the site to operate correctly, such as remembering your session preferences.
- Analytics: Aggregated, anonymized data about how visitors interact with the site (e.g., pages visited, time on site) to help us improve content quality.
- Advertising: When Google AdSense ads are served, Google may use cookies or similar technologies to provide relevant advertising in accordance with applicable consent requirements. This helps support the free content on this site.
First-Party Cookies
We may set first-party cookies to remember your preferences when you return to this site. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and expire at the end of your browser session or after a defined period.
Third-Party Cookies
We use the following third-party services that may set cookies on your device:
| Service | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdSense | Personalized and contextual advertising | Google Ads Policy |

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features on this site.
- Google Ad settings: Opt out of personalized Google ads at google.com/settings/ads.
- Industry opt-out: Use the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tool at networkadvertising.org/choices.
Consent
When you first visit, the site displays a Cookie Preferences control so you can allow or decline optional cookies. Your choice is stored locally on your device so the notice does not repeatedly interrupt navigation. Essential functionality remains available regardless of your optional-cookie choice. Where advertising requires a region-specific consent-management flow, that flow will govern the relevant advertising choice. You can reopen the control at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in the footer, or manage cookies through your browser and the third-party settings described above.
Policy Updates
This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to review this page from time to time.
