This Cookie Policy explains how KingsHost ("KingsHost," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on kingshost.net and in our client area. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device, remember preferences, and track usage. We also use related technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixels — for simplicity, we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this Policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required to operate kingshost.net and our client area, including session management, fraud prevention, load balancing, and security. These cannot be disabled in our systems.
- Functional cookies — to remember preferences such as your selected currency, billing cycle on our pricing page, and acknowledgement of this Cookie Policy.
- Analytics cookies — to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use our website so we can improve it (pages viewed, time on page, navigation paths). We do not use these for cross-site tracking.
- Marketing cookies — only set with your consent, used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
3. Specific Cookies We Set
The following are the principal cookies set by kingshost.net. The exact list may change as we update our Services; this section is illustrative.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some of our Services rely on third parties that may set their own cookies, including our payment processors (Stripe, PayPal) during checkout, our content-delivery network for static assets, and analytics providers where applicable. Their cookie practices are governed by their own policies.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Cookie banner — when you first visit kingshost.net, you can choose which categories of non-essential cookies to allow.
- Browser settings — most browsers allow you to view, manage, or delete cookies. See aboutcookies.org for general guidance.
- Do Not Track — we honor browser-level Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals where technically feasible.
Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent core functionality, including the ability to sign in to your client area.
