Cookie Policy
At Demandedhostings.com, we’re all about bringing you the latest insights on hosting plans, domain plans, and website builder plans. To make yourexperience as smooth and helpful as possible, we use cookies and similar technologies on our site. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage them. It’s part of our commitment to transparency as we share content about the tools.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device (like your computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help us remember things about your visit—like which hosting plan articles you read or how long you explored our domain tips—so we can improve your next trip to Demandedhostings.com. We may also use similar tools, like pixels or web beacons, to track usage patterns, but cookies are our main focus here.
Why We Use Cookie
Our site uses cookies for a few key reasons, all tied to enhancing your experience with our content about hosting, domains, and website builders:
- Essential Cookies: These keep our site running smoothly. They handle basic functions like loading pages or remembering if you’ve seen a pop-up about hosting deals, so you’re not bogged down by tech glitches while browsing.
- Performance Cookies: We use these to see how visitors like you interact with our site. For example, they tell us if our guide to “Top 10 Website Builders” gets more clicks than our “Domain Pricing Breakdown.” This data—usually anonymous—helps us tweak our content to match what you find useful.
- Functionality Cookies: These make your visit more personalized. They might remember your preferred language or if you’ve dismissed a newsletter signup prompt, saving you time as you explore our posts.
- Analytics Cookies: We partner with tools like Google Analytics to get a big-picture view of site traffic. These cookies track things like how many people check out our hosting plan comparisons or where our visitors come from (e.g., the U.S., India), but they don’t tie back to your personal identity.
We don’t use cookies for advertising or to track you across other sites—our focus is on improving Demandedhostings.com, not bombarding you with ads. Since we’re an informational resource, not a service provider, we keep our cookie use simple and relevant.
Types of Cookies We Use
Here’s a breakdown of the cookies you might encounter:
- Session Cookies: Temporary files that vanish when you close your browser. They help you navigate our site without losing your place—like flipping through hosting plan reviews without starting over.
- Persistent Cookies: These stick around longer (e.g., a few months) to remember your preferences, like if you’ve agreed to this policy before.
- First-Party Cookies: Set by us, Demandedhostings.com, to manage our site’s performance and your experience.
- Third-Party Cookies: Set by trusted partners (e.g., Google Analytics) to help us analyze usage. We don’t let these partners use your data for their own purposes beyond supporting us.
What Data Do Cookies Collect?
Cookies on our site don’t grab sensitive stuff like your name or credit card details. Instead, they collect things like:
- Your IP address (in a general, anonymized way)
- Browser and device type (e.g., Chrome on a Mac)
- Pages you visit (e.g., our “Best Domain Registrars” article)
- Time spent on the site and navigation paths
This info helps us understand trends—like whether our website builder tips are a hit—without pinpointing who you are.
Managing Cookies
You’re in control of cookies! Here’s how you can manage them:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) let you block cookies, delete them, or get alerts when they’re set. Check your browser’s “Privacy” or “Settings” menu to adjust this. Note: Blocking essential cookies might make our site less functional—like pages loading slower.
- Cookie Consent: When you first visit, you might see a pop-up asking you to accept cookies. You can say yes, tweak your preferences (if we offer that), or decline non-essential ones. You can change your mind later by [insert how—e.g., “clearing your browser cache” or “contacting us”].
- Opt-Out Tools: For analytics cookies, tools like Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on can stop data collection.
We’ll respect your choices, though some cookies are necessary for our site to work at all.
Third-Party Links and Cookies
Our content often links to hosting providers (e.g., Bluehost, SiteGround), domain registrars (e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy), and website builders (e.g., Squarespace, Wix). If you click these links, those sites might set their own cookies. We don’t control that—check their cookie policies for details. Our cookies only cover what happens on Demandedhostings.com.
How Long Do We Keep Cookie Data?
Session cookies disappear when you leave, while persistent cookies might stick around for a set time (e.g., 6 months) or until you delete them. Analytics data we get from cookies is kept in aggregate form—never linked to you personally—and stored as long as it’s useful for improving our site, typically up to 2 years.
Updates to This Policy
We might tweak this Cookie Policy as our site evolves or new tech comes along. Any changes will land here with an updated date (like today’s, February 25, 2025). We’ll let you know about big updates via a site notice or email if we have your contact info. Keep an eye out to stay in the loop!
