Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how americanmuseumhub.com uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their sites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner — such as analytics providers or advertising networks — are called third-party cookies. Both types serve distinct purposes, and this policy explains how each is used on americanmuseumhub.com.
Cookies are not software programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They do not give the website owner access to the rest of your device or the files stored on it. Each cookie is specific to the domain that created it, which means a cookie set by our site cannot be read by another website you visit.
Why We Use Cookies
We use first-party cookies for technical reasons to allow our site to function properly. These are referred to as essential or strictly necessary cookies. Without them, features such as remembering your cookie consent preference or maintaining secure sessions would not work.
We may also use performance cookies to understand how visitors interact with our museum guides, state-by-state listings, and landmark pages. This information helps us optimize the user experience and improve site navigation so that readers can more easily find the cultural institutions they are looking for.
Because our content focuses exclusively on museums located within the United States, we also use cookies to remember regional preferences — such as which state or metropolitan area you are browsing — so that relevant collection highlights surface first on return visits.
Gallery hall — performance data helps us improve navigation to pages like these.
Types of Cookies Used
We group the cookies and similar technologies on americanmuseumhub.com into three functional categories. Each serves a different purpose, and your ability to control each category varies.
Essential Cookies
Necessary to provide you with services available through our website. These cookies enable core functionality such as security, session management, and your cookie consent preference. The site cannot function properly without them.
Analytics Cookies
Used to collect information about traffic to the site and how users move around it. The information is aggregated and does not identify any individual visitor. These cookies help us understand which museum guides and landmark pages are most useful to readers.
Preference Cookies
Allow the site to remember choices you make, such as language preferences or the U.S. state whose museums you are most interested in. These cookies improve your return-visit experience but are not required for the site to function.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies at any time. Most modern browsers allow you to manage cookie settings on a per-site basis, block third-party cookies entirely, or delete cookies that have already been placed on your device.
If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. For example, we may not be able to remember your preferred U.S. state or maintain your consent preference between sessions.

Disabling all cookies may affect your experience on other websites you visit, not just this one. We recommend reviewing your browser's help documentation for the most current instructions.
Third-Party Cookies on Our Site
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the service or to deliver advertisements on and through the service. These cookies may track your browsing habits across different websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
We do not control the cookies set by third-party providers. Each third party manages its own cookies according to its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you encounter while using our site.
If you prefer not to receive interest-based advertising, you may opt out through resources such as the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance's consumer choice page. These opt-outs apply to participating companies but do not disable all third-party tracking.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
When we make material changes, we will update the "last reviewed" date shown at the top of this page. Continuing to use americanmuseumhub.com after a change indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
