Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies HostupCloud uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It applies to hostupcloud.com and the HUCPanel control panel. This policy is part of our Data Privacy Policy.

Last updated: 22 February 2026  · Effective: 22 February 2026  · Applies to: hostupcloud.com & HUCPanel

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and collect usage statistics. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies"; cookies set by other services embedded in the page are called "third-party cookies".

HostupCloud uses a minimal cookie footprint. We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies. We do not sell or share cookie data with advertisers.

5. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry-wide standard for what sites must do in response to a DNT signal, HostupCloud does not currently respond differently to DNT requests. However, since we use Plausible Analytics (cookieless, no cross-site tracking) and do not use advertising networks, your privacy is protected regardless of the DNT setting.

Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals are honoured for analytics cookies — enabling GPC in your browser will automatically opt you out of analytics data collection.

6. Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove third-party services or when legal requirements change. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via a banner on your next visit. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
