Cookie Policy

Effective Date: January 31, 2026

Website: https://referencehub.com.ng

At Reference Hub, we believe in a transparent browsing experience. This “Map” explains what cookies are, how we use them, and—crucially—what we are not doing right now regarding advertisements.

1. The Transparency Declaration (Current Status)

Current Ad-Free Status: As of today, Reference Hub does not serve third-party advertisements. Because of this, we currently do not deploy “Advertising Cookies” or “Tracking Pixels” used for behavioral targeting. Your reading experience on our biography hub is currently free from commercial tracking.

Future Readiness (AdSense Disclosure): To support our team of expert writers in the future, we intend to apply for Google AdSense. Once approved, this policy will update to include:

  • Google DART Cookies: Used to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
  • Third-Party Beacons: Tools used by advertisers to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns.

2. What Cookies Are We Using Right Now?

Since we are currently ad-free, we only use “Essential” and “Analytical” cookies to keep the site running smoothly:

3. The “Future-Proof” AdSense Disclosure

In accordance with Google Publisher Policies, we disclose that once monetization begins:

  1. Third-party vendors, including Google, will use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to Reference Hub or other websites.
  2. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings.
  3. Cookies from other third-party vendors or ad networks may also be used to serve ads on our site.

4. How You Can Control Your Map

You are the pilot of your own browser. You can restrict or block cookies at any time:

  • Browser Settings: You can set your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.) to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
  • Global Opt-Out: You can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
  • Consequence Note: Please note that if you disable essential cookies, some parts of the Reference Hub biographies may not display correctly.

5. Policy Evolution

We review this “Digital Footprint Map” regularly. If we change our ad status or partner with new technology providers, we will update the “Last Updated” date and clearly mark the changes here.
