This Cookie Policy explains how DonHoster ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit www.donhoster.com. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
By continuing to use our website after seeing our cookie banner, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can withdraw or adjust your consent at any time using the controls described in Section 6.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owners.
Cookies are not programs — they cannot execute code, carry viruses, or install malware on your device. They simply store small pieces of text that the website can read on your next visit.
Similar technologies include:
- Web beacons (pixel tags) — tiny invisible images embedded in pages or emails that signal when content has been viewed
- Local storage — browser storage similar to cookies but with a larger capacity, used for session and preference data
- Session storage — temporary storage that is cleared when the browser tab is closed
- Fingerprinting — collecting device characteristics to identify a browser; we do not use this technique

Browser-specific instructions for managing cookies:
Cookie Consent
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive, we are required to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. We do this through our cookie banner shown on your first visit.
Legal bases for cookie processing:
- Strictly Necessary cookies — processed on the basis of legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), as they are essential for the website to function

Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. At this time, there is no universally agreed-upon standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our website does not alter its behavior based on DNT browser settings.
You can still control cookies through the methods described in Section 6 above, which provide effective control over tracking technologies.
