Cookie Policy
Last updated: 5 October 2026
Hostmizer BV (VAT BE1039958675) uses cookies and similar browser-storage technologies on hostmizer.com. This policy accompanies our Privacy Policy.
1. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small values stored by a browser. Local storage, session storage, tags and pixels can also remember preferences, support sign-in, analyse usage or measure campaigns. Server-side conversion reporting is also relevant to advertising privacy even when it does not set a browser cookie.
2. Your choices and the current implementation
The banner offers Accept all, Reject optional and Manage preferences, with analytics and marketing choices. Essential account and security storage is needed to operate the service.
The app stores your choice in local storage as hostmizer_cookie_consent. It currently has no automatic expiry. OpenAI advertising measurement checks marketing consent. Google uses consent signals; Google Analytics is currently loaded before a banner decision, and Microsoft Clarity starts in a denied-consent, cookieless mode. HubSpot, Google Tag Manager and Contentsquare loading is subject to the app's optional-tag gate. Where consent is denied, Google tags send only cookieless, aggregated signals.
There is currently no dedicated persistent preference-centre link. To display the banner again, remove the Site's stored data using your browser settings and reload. This may sign you out and remove saved preferences. A new choice does not necessarily remove existing third-party cookies or unload every previously loaded script; use your browser's cookie controls as well. You can also withdraw consent at any time by emailing hello@hostmizer.com.

4. Provider information
Providers may process information under their own terms and privacy notices:
- Google privacy and cookies
- HubSpot privacy policy
- Microsoft privacy statement
- Contentsquare privacy information
- OpenAI privacy policy
- Lovable privacy policy
Address search uses Google Maps / Places server-side; the app does not use a browser Places key. Scheduling embeds and external booking platforms may have additional storage when you use them.
5. Browser controls
Your browser can block or delete cookies and clear local/session storage. Blocking essential storage can prevent sign-in or other account functions. Browser privacy controls do not replace provider opt-outs or a service's consent settings.
6. Changes and contact
We update this policy as our technologies change. For questions, contact hello@hostmizer.com or use our contact page.
