Cookie Policy

1. What This Policy Covers

Cookies are small pieces of data that a website stores in your browser. Alongside cookies, modern sites — including ours — use the browser's localStorage to remember preferences on your device. This policy explains exactly what this Site stores in your browser, why, and how you can control it.

2. Preferences Stored on Your Device

The Site itself does not set tracking cookies. It stores two small preferences in your browser's localStorage:

• banahosting_lang — your language choice (English or Spanish).
• banahosting_theme — your light or dark theme choice.

These values never leave your browser, contain no personal information, are not shared with anyone and have no expiry date — they simply remain until you clear your browser data.

3. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4 (property G-C55YEDJB3K) to understand how visitors use the Site — number of visits, pages viewed and general navigation patterns. Google Analytics sets cookies whose names begin with _ga (for example _ga and _ga_*). Analytics cookies are only set after you accept them in our cookie banner; until then, Google Analytics runs in consent-denied mode. The data is pseudonymised (a random client ID and a truncated IP) and does not directly identify you.

4. Client Area and Shopping Cart Cookies

When you log in or place an order at manage.banahosting.com, our billing platform sets strictly necessary session cookies — for example your session identifier and the contents of your shopping cart. Without them, logging in and completing a purchase cannot work. They expire or are deleted when your session ends.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Google Analytics is the only third-party service that sets cookies through this Site. We do not use advertising networks, social-media pixels or any other trackers here.

6. How to Manage or Disable Cookies

• Browser settings — every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and site data; clearing site data also resets our language/theme preferences.
• Google Analytics opt-out — install Google's official opt-out add-on from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• Effect of blocking — blocking analytics cookies does not affect your ability to use the Site; blocking the essential cookies of manage.banahosting.com will prevent login and purchases.

7. Changes and Contact

We will update this policy if the cookies or technologies we use change, posting the update on this page with a revised date. Questions? Reach us through our contact page.
