In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixel tags, or device identifiers. These technologies serve comparable purposes to cookies, assisting us in analyzing how our website and Services are accessed and utilized.

They enable critical features such as secure login to your management panel, user authentication, efficient navigation, access to secure areas of our website, and the processing of your service requests (e.g., maintaining items in a shopping cart for service subscriptions). Without these cookies, the essential functionalities of our website and the provision of our hosting services would be severely impaired or impossible.
  • User Control: These cookies do not require your specific consent as they are strictly necessary for the provision of services explicitly requested by you. Blocking these cookies will prevent you from utilizing key functionalities of our website and Services.

• 2.2. Performance and Analytics Cookies
  • Purpose: These cookies collect anonymous, aggregated data regarding website usage, including pages visited, duration of visits, and any errors encountered.

This helps us optimize our server and network infrastructures.
  • User Control: These cookies require your explicit consent.
  • Example Usage: Monitoring traffic patterns to proactively manage server load for optimal performance, identifying popular service offerings (e.g., demand for specific cloud server configurations), and analyzing user interaction flows to enhance the onboarding process for new website hosting customers.
• 2.3. Functionality Cookies
  • Purpose: These cookies enable our website to remember your choices and preferences, such as your selected language, region, or customized settings (e.g., text size). This allows us to provide a more personalized and convenient experience for you.
  • User Control: These cookies require your explicit consent.
  • Example Usage: Recalling your preferred language for communication within your hosting account, automatically populating certain fields based on your previous interactions, or remembering your last-viewed server specifications.
• 2.4. Targeting and Advertising Cookies
  • Purpose: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to your interests based on your Browse habits. They also assist us in measuring the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are typically placed by third-party advertising networks with our authorization and can track your activity across various websites.
  • User Control: These cookies require your explicit consent.
