Essential technologies may be required for website security and functionality. Where required, analytics, advertising and measurement technologies are used subject to your choices and applicable requirements.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files or pieces of data stored on your device when you visit a website.
Cookies can help websites operate correctly, maintain authenticated sessions, remember preferences, understand how visitors use a website and measure the effectiveness of marketing activities.
HostGraber may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, including:
- Browser local storage.
- Session storage.
- Pixels and tracking tags.
- Web beacons.
- Device or browser identifiers.
- Server-side measurement technologies.
References to “cookies” in this Policy may include these similar technologies where appropriate.

Where applicable, non-essential cookies such as analytics, advertising and measurement technologies may be used according to your preferences.
Cookie Preference Options
- Accept All — allows essential cookies and permitted analytics, advertising and measurement technologies.
- Reject Non-Essential — limits use to cookies and technologies necessary for website operation, security and functionality.
- Customize — allows you to choose available non-essential cookie categories.
Where HostGraber provides cookie preference controls, you can revisit those controls to change your preferences.

Essential Cookies
Essential cookies and similar technologies are used where necessary to provide functionality requested by you or to operate and secure HostGraber websites and services.
They may support functions including:
- Maintaining login and account sessions.
- Maintaining shopping, checkout or service-order sessions.
- Remembering cookie-consent choices.
- Protecting forms and account interfaces against abuse.
- Fraud prevention and security.
- Traffic routing and load balancing.
- Maintaining required website state between page requests.
Because these technologies may be necessary to provide the website or a service you request, they cannot always be disabled through HostGraber's cookie controls.
Analytics & Performance
Subject to applicable requirements and your cookie preferences, HostGraber may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use our websites.
Analytics information may help us measure:
- Website visits and page views.

- Website navigation and interactions.
- Page and website performance.
- Errors and usability problems.
- Aggregate conversion or engagement performance.
HostGraber may use third-party analytics services, including Google Analytics or comparable technologies, where configured.
Advertising & Measurement
Where permitted and enabled according to your preferences, HostGraber may use advertising and measurement technologies to understand the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
These technologies may help determine, for example, whether a visitor reached HostGraber after interacting with an advertisement and whether the visit later resulted in a relevant conversion.
Depending on the technologies configured on the website, measurement may involve advertising platforms or analytics providers used by HostGraber.
Where consent is required, advertising and non-essential measurement technologies should not be activated merely because essential cookies are required for the website.
Attribution, Referrals & Campaigns
HostGraber may use cookies or similar identifiers to understand how visitors discover our services and to measure marketing or referral performance.
Attribution information may include:
- Campaign and UTM parameters.
- Referring website or source.
- Advertising platform or campaign.
- Affiliate or partner referral information.
- First or subsequent website visits.
- Session and conversion identifiers.
Cross-Domain Continuity
HostGraber operates websites and service interfaces that may use different HostGraber-controlled domains or subdomains.
Where technically necessary and permitted, identifiers may be used to maintain session, attribution or service continuity when a visitor moves between those interfaces.
HostGraber does not intend cross-domain functionality to bypass your applicable cookie preferences.
Third-Party Technologies
Some functionality on HostGraber websites may be provided or supported by third-party services.
Depending on the service and your choices, third parties may set or read cookies or use similar technologies when their functionality is loaded.
These services may include categories such as:
- Analytics providers.
- Advertising platforms.
- Payment providers.
- Customer-support or communication services.
- Security and fraud-prevention providers.
- Embedded content or functionality.
Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
Session & Persistent Cookies
Session Cookies
Session cookies generally remain available only during a browser session and may expire after the browser is closed or the applicable session ends.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies may remain on a device after a browser session ends until their configured expiry date or until they are removed.
The duration of a particular cookie depends on its purpose, configuration and the service responsible for it.
HostGraber aims to avoid retaining cookie identifiers longer than reasonably necessary for their intended purpose, subject to operational, security, measurement and legal requirements.
Managing & Deleting Cookies
You can control cookies through available HostGraber cookie preference controls and through your browser or device settings.
Most modern browsers allow you to:
- View cookies stored on your device.
- Delete individual or all cookies.
- Block cookies from particular websites.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Restrict or clear website storage.
Blocking or deleting certain essential cookies may cause account login, checkout, preferences or other website functionality to stop working correctly.
Browser Privacy Signals
Some browsers and devices provide privacy signals such as “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control.
The technical interpretation and legal requirements associated with these signals may vary by jurisdiction, browser and service.
Where HostGraber is legally required to recognise a supported privacy signal, we intend to process that signal in accordance with applicable requirements.
Cookie preference controls remain the primary method for communicating available cookie choices directly to HostGraber where those controls are provided.

HostGraber may update this Cookie Policy when our website, technology, analytics, advertising practices, legal requirements or service providers change.
When this Policy is materially updated, the revised version may be published on this page and the “Last Updated” date changed accordingly.
