DynHost

Cookie policy

Effective date: 2026-06-14

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve their performance, and to provide information to site operators.

2. Cookies and similar technologies we use

We use a minimal set of cookies, focused on privacy. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

2.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off.

  • authjs.session-token (or __Secure-authjs.session-token over HTTPS) — keeps you signed in to your DynHost account. Session.
  • authjs.csrf-token (or __Secure-authjs.csrf-token over HTTPS) — prevents cross-site request forgery attacks. Session.

The client portal at dynhost.co.uk/client sets its own session and security cookies when you use it; those are covered by the portal's own notice.

Lawful basis: Strictly necessary — consent not required.

2.2 Analytics (no cookies)

We use Plausible Analytics to understand how visitors use our marketing site. Plausible is a privacy-first analytics tool that:

  • Does not use cookies
  • Does not collect personal data
  • Does not track users across different websites
  • Does not generate persistent identifiers

Plausible processes only aggregated, anonymised usage data, in compliance with the UK GDPR. As no personal data is collected, we do not display a cookie consent banner for analytics. You can find out more at plausible.io/data-policy.

2.3 Functional preferences (no cookies)

Your light/dark theme choice is stored in your browser's local storage (dynhost-theme), not in a cookie, and is never sent to our servers.

Your language is part of the page URL (/en-GB/…), so no cookie is set for it.

3. Third-party cookies

We do not embed third-party content (such as YouTube videos, Google Fonts, or social media widgets) directly on our marketing site, in order to avoid setting third-party cookies. If we ever do embed such content, we will update this policy and request consent where required.

4. Cookie consent

Because we use only strictly necessary cookies and a privacy-respecting, cookieless analytics tool, we do not display a cookie consent banner on dynhost.co.uk.

5. How to manage cookies

You can control and manage cookies via your browser settings, by using private browsing mode, or via browser extensions like Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, or DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from functioning (in particular, you will not be able to log in to the client portal).

6. Do Not Track

Plausible does not use cookies, does not build a profile of you and does not track you across sites, so there is no analytics cookie to opt out of. If you would still rather block it, extensions such as uBlock Origin stop the analytics script from loading.

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the effective date at the top.
