Introduction
This cookie policy explains how FracturingHub uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It is intended to help you understand what these technologies are, what we use them for, and the choices available to you. It should be read alongside our privacy policy, which describes the information we collect more broadly.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences, understand how you interact with the site, and in some cases deliver relevant content or advertising. Cookies may be "first-party" (set by FracturingHub) or "third-party" (set by a service we use, such as an analytics or advertising provider).
How We Use Cookies
FracturingHub uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, authentication, and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or signing in.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies, including those from Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with FracturingHub. These cookies collect information about which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, and how users arrived at the site. This data helps us improve our content and user experience. Analytics data is collected in aggregate and is not personally identifiable.
Advertising Cookies
FracturingHub may display third-party advertisements, including ads served by Google AdSense or similar advertising networks. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to FracturingHub or other websites. These cookies enable personalized advertising and help measure ad performance.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page. You can also opt out of third-party cookies used for personalized advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on FracturingHub are set by third-party services that we use. These include:
- Google Analytics — used to analyze site traffic and user behavior
- Google AdSense — used to serve relevant advertisements (when enabled)
Each of these services has its own privacy and cookie policies governing how they use data. We encourage you to review them. Our relationship with these providers is governed by their terms, not this policy.
Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menus. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality.
- Opt-out tools: You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Advertising preferences: Manage your Google ad personalization settings at Google Ads Settings.

We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does FracturingHub use cookies for advertising?
FracturingHub may use Google AdSense or similar advertising networks to display advertisements. These services may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ads Settings.
How can I disable cookies on FracturingHub?
You can disable or manage cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website. You can also use opt-out tools for specific services like Google Analytics.
Does FracturingHub sell my data collected through cookies?
No. We do not sell personal information collected through cookies. Analytics data is used in aggregate to improve the site, and any advertising cookies are managed by third-party ad networks according to their own policies.
What is the difference between first-party and third-party cookies?
First-party cookies are set by FracturingHub to operate the site and remember your preferences. Third-party cookies are set by services we use, such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense, and are governed by those providers' policies.
Are cookies the same as the data in my account?
No. Cookies are small files on your device used for site operation and analytics. Account data — such as saved searches, watchlists, and subscription details — is stored separately and described in our privacy policy.
How do I opt out of Google Analytics?
You can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which prevents your activity on FracturingHub from being included in analytics reporting. Browser settings can also block analytics cookies entirely.
Will disabling advertising cookies stop all ads?
Disabling advertising cookies stops personalized ads based on your browsing history, but you may still see non-personalized or generic advertisements served by the network.
Do I need to accept cookies to use the site?
Essential cookies are required for core functionality such as navigation and authentication. Analytics and advertising cookies are not required, and you can block them through your browser without breaking basic site operation.
How long do cookies stay on my device?
Cookie duration varies. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for a set period defined by the setting service, often ranging from a few months to a couple of years for analytics and advertising cookies.
Does FracturingHub use cookies outside the website?
This policy covers the FracturingHub website. Advertising and analytics providers may apply their own cross-site technologies when their networks are involved, subject to their own policies and your ad preferences.
Where can I learn how my information is used more broadly?
Our privacy policy describes the information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. The cookie policy specifically addresses tracking technologies used on the site.
