Cookie Policy
Last updated: 4 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how HostAdvance uses cookies and similar technologies on hostadvance.com. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
Our approach
We keep cookies on this Site to a minimum. We do not use advertising or social-media tracking cookies on HostAdvance. Optional analytics load only if you click Accept on our cookie banner.
Cookies and storage we set
| Name / key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| hostadvance_consent | First-party cookie | Remembers whether you Accepted or Rejected optional analytics | Up to 12 months |
| hostadvance-cookie-consent | localStorage | Same choice as the cookie above (backup) | Until you clear site data |
What we do not set (unless you Accept)
Before you Accept, we do not load Vercel Web Analytics or Vercel Speed Insights. Vercel Web Analytics is described by Vercel as cookieless (no analytics cookies on your device). Speed Insights measures performance and is also designed not to rely on tracking cookies. Because they still process usage/performance data and are not strictly necessary to run the Site, we treat them as non-essential and gate them behind consent—consistent with our banner.
If you Reject, those scripts never load on your visit (unless you change your mind and clear site data to see the banner again).
Strictly necessary
The consent cookie/localStorage entry is necessary to record your choice and meet UK expectations for equal Accept/Reject options without nagging you on every page.
When you click our affiliate links
Outbound links go to SiteGround (and related SiteGround domains). We do not control cookies SiteGround sets after you leave our Site. SiteGround may use cookies for sign-up, affiliate tracking, security, and product functionality under its own policies. Review SiteGround's Privacy Policy and SiteGround's cookie information on their website.
