This Cookie Policy explains how VDHOSTS INTERNET PRIVATE LIMITED ("VD Hosts", "we") uses cookies and similar technologies on our websites. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels. Some are essential for a website to work; others help us understand how the website is used or measure marketing.
2. Your choice
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all cookies or use essential cookies only. Both choices are equally easy, and nothing non-essential is set until you choose. You can change your choice at any time through Cookie settings in the footer of every page. We treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as a choice of essential cookies only.
3. Cookies we use

Analytics and marketing tools are switched on only when configured by us, and only set cookies after you consent.
4. Browser controls
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the website, such as forms and sign-in, from working.
