Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember preferences, and to understand how a site is used. Similar technologies — such as local storage and tracking pixels — work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy too.

Our approach

HostHandbook is a static, content-first site. We keep cookie use to a minimum and do not run intrusive advertising trackers. We do not sell data collected through cookies.

Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary

These keep the site functioning — for example, remembering your cookie choices or maintaining security. The site cannot work properly without them, so they do not require consent.

Analytics

If enabled, privacy-respecting analytics help us understand which pages and tools are useful so we can improve them. We use this data in aggregate; it is not used to build advertising profiles or to identify you personally.

Affiliate / referral

When you click an affiliate link to a hosting provider, that provider may set a cookie on its own domain to credit us with the referral. These are first-party cookies of the provider you visit, set under that provider's control — not by HostHandbook. We never receive your payment details through them.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties, most notably the hosting providers you reach through our affiliate links. We do not control those cookies. To understand them, review the privacy and cookie policies of the provider whose site you visit.

How to control cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies when you close the browser. Helpful guides are available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working. Blocking analytics or affiliate cookies will not affect your ability to read our content.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes or as the law evolves. When we make material changes, we will update the date below.
