Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember information between pages or visits. Similar technologies include local storage and tracking pixels; in this policy “cookies” covers all of them.

| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, load balancing, remembering your preferences | Session to 12 months |
| Analytics | Counting visits and understanding which pages are useful | Up to 26 months |
| Affiliate tracking | Recording that a visitor arrived at a host from our link | Set by the host, usually 30–90 days |
| Embedded content | Maps and other embedded services on certain pages | Set by the provider |

These keep the site secure and working — for example, our firewall and caching system may set cookies to block abusive traffic and serve pages quickly. They cannot be switched off in our systems, but you can block them in your browser, which may stop parts of the site from working.
04
When we use analytics, it is to see how many people read each page, which guides are most helpful and where readers leave the site. Analytics is configured to anonymise IP addresses where possible, and we do not use analytics data to identify individual visitors.
05
When you click an affiliate link to a hosting provider, that provider may set a cookie in your browser to record that you arrived from The Hosting Mill. These cookies are set by the provider, on its own website, under its own policy. They do not give us access to your account or payment information.
06
Some pages include embedded content such as maps. The provider of that content may set its own cookies when the embed loads. Please check that provider’s cookie policy for details.
07
You can delete or block cookies at any time in your browser settings; most browsers explain how in their help pages, and many let you block third-party cookies only. Blocking all cookies may affect how some pages work. If we add a consent tool for optional cookies, its settings link will appear in the site footer.
08
We update this policy when we add or remove tools that use cookies. The effective date at the top shows the latest version.
