This Cookie Policy describes how and why HostingCHS and our subsidiaries ("we," "they," or "HostingCHS") use cookies and other similar technologies in our business on websites, products, and services (collectively, our "Sites") and applications. It also explains your rights to control the use of these tracking technologies. For additional information about our privacy practices, please see our Privacy Policy.
Each brand manages cookies differently on their respective websites. This means that if you manage your cookie preferences for one of the HostingCHS brands, you'll need to manage your preferences separately when you visit a different HostingCHS brand website.
If you are visiting our websites from the UK, European Union, or European Economic Area (EEA), only necessary cookies, as described below, will be used on our websites by default.
WHAT ARE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
Cookies. Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or other internet-enabled devices that enable our features and functionality. They allow us to record information when you visit or interact with our websites. You can find more information about cookies at “All About Cookies” www.allaboutcookies.org .
Pixels. Pixels are small pieces of code that we use as part of our websites. We use pixels to track whether you've clicked on certain web content. This helps us measure and improve our services and personalize your experience.
Web Beacons. Web beacons are invisible image files that we use as part of our websites. We use web beacons to see how you interact with our services and to understand how often you view certain content so we can make our site more efficient and user-friendly.
HOW DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts, and other similar tracking technologies to make our websites easier to use and better tailor them to your interests and needs. We use the information we obtain from cookies and other tracking technologies to perform profiling activities to learn more about you and deliver tailored advertising based on your behavior on our sites. Some technologies may also be placed by third-party advertisers. We also use these technologies to collect information that allows us to better understand our customers and visitors.
WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES DO WE USE?
SESSION AND PERSISTENT COOKIES
Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. We use two types of cookies:
- Persistent cookies are cookies that help us recognize you. They are stored on your device between browser sessions, allowing us to remember your preferences and actions across multiple websites and visits.
- Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session, allowing us to link your actions during a specific browsing session.
OWN AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
There are two broad categories of cookies:
- Cookies set directly by us on your device.
- Cookies set by third parties with our permission for your device.
We allow third parties to set cookies on our websites. Third parties may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts, and other similar tracking technologies to enable third-party features or functionality to be provided through the website you are using. Third-party settings for these cookies may recognize your device when you visit our website and when you visit other websites or services. For example, our payment providers or affiliates may use third-party cookies to identify you as a referral so they can be compensated if you sign up for our services as a result of visiting one of our providers. Similarly, third-party vendors such as Google may use cookies or other device identifiers to serve you targeted ads based on your past visits to our website.
CROSS-DEVICE TRACKING
We track across devices, which allows us to deliver relevant advertising to you across multiple devices. By identifying browsing activity across your smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, and other devices connected to the same IP address or account, we better understand the products and services that may be of interest to you.
LOCAL STORAGE OBJECTS
We also use local storage objects like HTML5 to optimize the display of screen, video, and other preference information.
GOOGLE, ADOBE AND OTHER ANALYTICS
We use Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, and other analytics tools to help us understand how users interact with our sites. Like many services, they use first-party cookies to track user interactions with the websites. In our case, they are used to gather information about how users use our websites. This information is used to compile reports and help us improve our websites. The reports reveal site trends without identifying individual visitors.
You may opt out of receiving cookies or device identifiers from Google without affecting how you visit or use our website. For more information about how to disable Google's use of cookies across all websites you use, please visit this Google page: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated . To give you more choice about how your data is collected by Google Analytics, Google has developed an opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout , which allows you to opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics.
WHY DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
We use the following types of cookies for the reasons described below. These cookies may be set by us or by a third-party service provider to perform the functions described below:
- Mandatory: These cookies and tracking technologies are necessary to help our websites function properly or to comply with the law (for example, security requirements under data protection law). For example, these cookies allow you to navigate our websites and use essential features, including secure areas and shopping baskets. We do not need your consent to use these cookies.
- Analytics: These cookies and tracking technologies help us understand how customers and visitors interact with our websites. They provide us with information about the areas of our websites visited, the time spent on our websites, the transactions made, and any error messages you receive. These cookies allow us to improve the performance of our websites. They may collect your IP address, but only for the purpose of identifying the general location of visitors and identifying spam or fraudulent traffic.
- Advertising: These cookies and tracking technologies allow us to deliver content, including ads, relevant to your specific interests. This content may be provided on our websites or on third-party websites or services. They allow us to understand and improve the relevance of our ads. They may track personal information, including your IP address.
- Functional: These cookies and tracking technologies allow our sites to remember choices you've made to provide enhanced functionality and a personalized experience. For example, when you select a specific currency on one of our websites, we will remember your currency selection when you return.
HOW CAN I CONTROL COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
If you visit our websites from the United Kingdom, the European Union, or the European Economic Area, cookies will be used on our websites by default, as described above. When you visit our websites from outside the United Kingdom and Europe, all cookies and similar tracking technologies described above will be used by default. If you prefer not to receive personalized ads based on browser or device usage, you can generally express your preference not to receive further personalized ads. Please note that you will still see ads, but they will no longer be tailored to your interests.
Cookies are managed by each brand on their respective website. This means that if you manage your cookie preferences for one HostingCHS brand, you'll need to manage your preferences separately when you visit a different HostingCHS brand website.
If you choose not to receive our cookies, your browser will be associated with a generic "opt-out" cookie, which will prevent us from associating non-personal information with your browser. Because this program relies on cookies, you may need to opt out again if you do the following:
- Delete your cookies.
- Block cookies, including third-party cookies.
- Change your internet browser.
- Change computers.
- Update your web browser.
Internet browsers allow you to change cookie settings through your browser's "options" or "preferences" menu. Please note that if you set your browser to reject or block all cookies, some features or functionality of our websites will be limited or unavailable to you. For more information on how to manage your browser settings, see below:
- Internet Explorer cookie settings
Some internet browsers include the ability to transmit "do not track" signals. Because an industry standard regarding "do not track" has not yet been developed, our sites do not currently process or respond to these "do not track" signals.
Some web browsers may offer their own management tools to remove HTML5 and other local storage objects.
CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY
We will update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices and services. When we post changes to this Cookie Policy, we will revise the "Modified" date at the top of this Cookie Policy. We encourage you to check this page periodically to inform yourself of any changes to this Cookie Policy.
