Cookies are small files stored by your browser. They can be used to remember preferences, keep parts of a website working or help a website owner understand how the website is being used.
Similar technologies include browser local storage, session storage, tags, pixels and third-party scripts. These can also store or access information on your device.
In this policy, when we say “cookies”, we also include similar technologies where they perform a similar function.
Necessary cookies and local storage are used for functions that are required for the website to work correctly. This includes remembering the choices you make in the cookie banner so you are not asked again on every page.
These cookies are not used for advertising. They are used for practical website operation and preference handling.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use Website Hosts UK. This helps us see which pages are useful, which blog posts attract visitors, which services people look at and where improvements may be needed.
Google Analytics may collect information such as page views, device and browser information, approximate location, referral source and general interaction information. We use this to improve the website and understand traffic trends.
Google Analytics 4 is only loaded after you accept analytics cookies. If you reject non-essential cookies or leave analytics disabled in Manage choices, Google Analytics should not load.
Analytics information helps us improve pages such as hosting services, blog articles, website tools and support information.
We use Tawk.to live chat so visitors can contact us from the website. This can help with hosting questions, support routes, pre-sales enquiries and general website help.
Tawk.to may use cookies or similar technologies to provide the chat service, remember chat sessions, show whether live chat is available and help us respond to messages.
Tawk.to is only loaded after you accept live chat cookies. If you reject non-essential cookies or leave live chat disabled in Manage choices, the live chat widget should not load automatically.
Because live chat is optional, you can continue using the website without enabling it.
