This website https://hostdada.co.uk ("Our Site") uses Cookies and similar technologies in order to distinguish you from other users. By using Cookies, We are able to provide you with a better experience and to improve Our Site by better understanding how you use it. Please read this Cookie Policy carefully and ensure that you understand it. Our analytical Cookies are used only to understand how Our Site is used so We can improve it. You can opt out of them at any time, and you can use Our Site whichever you choose.

2. How We Use Cookies

Our Site may place and access certain first party Cookies on your computer or device. First party Cookies are those placed directly by Us and are used only by Us. We use Cookies to facilitate and improve your experience of Our Site and to provide and improve Our products and services. We have carefully chosen these Cookies and have taken steps to ensure that your privacy and personal data are protected and respected at all times.

3. Types of Cookies

The following Cookies may be placed on your computer or device:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
  • Analytical/Performance Cookies: Unless you opt out, we set hd_vid (lasts 2 years) and hd_sid (lasts 30 minutes) on .hostdada.co.uk. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website and its subdomains.
  • Your Cookie Choice: hd_consent remembers your answer for 12 months, so we don't show the notice again on each page. It is set on .hostdada.co.uk, and an opt-out applies across Host Dada sites.
  • Functionality Cookies: These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

When you first visit, We show a notice explaining Our analytical Cookies, with a button to opt out. They are used only to produce statistics about how Our Site is used so We can improve it; they are never used for advertising or shared with advertisers. You can opt out, or opt back in, at any time using Cookie settings in the footer. Opting out deletes hd_vid and hd_sid and stops further records; records already made stay until they expire unless you ask Us to delete them. Opting out does not affect how Our Site works.

Whatever you choose, We keep running totals: views of each public page per day, and visits per day by where they came from (such as a search engine, a website that linked to Us or a campaign) and by type of device (mobile, tablet or desktop). They use no Cookies. To add to them We read which website sent you, any campaign tags on the link and your browser's device type when the page loads, then keep only the totals. They hold no IP address or anything else identifying you, and can't show what any one person did.

5. How to Manage Cookies

You can choose to enable or disable Cookies in your internet browser. Most internet browsers also enable you to choose whether you wish to disable all Cookies or only third party Cookies. By default, most internet browsers accept Cookies but this can be changed. For further details, please consult the help menu in your internet browser or the documentation that came with your device.

6. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may alter this Cookie Policy at any time. Any such changes will become binding on you on your first use of Our Site after the changes have been made. You are therefore advised to check this page from time to time.
