Privacy Policy — The Host Dude
Privacy Policy
Last reviewed: 7 November 2026. This is a short, plain-English privacy policy for a small guide site. It will be updated if the site starts collecting anything new.
What we collect
Almost nothing. This site does not ask you to create an account, and it does not collect your name, email address, password, or payment details. There is no contact form on this site yet, so nothing you type here is sent to us. If a contact method is added later, this policy will say what it collects before it goes live.
Server logs
Like nearly every website, the server that hosts this site keeps basic logs: the pages requested, the time, and the browser and device type. Those logs are used to keep the site running and to spot errors. They are not sold, and they are not used to identify individual readers.
Affiliate links and cookies
Some links on this site are affiliate links to Hostinger. If you click one, Hostinger may set a cookie in your browser so it knows the visit came from this site. That cookie lasts 30 days. If you buy hosting within that window, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not see your name, email, or payment details from that click — Hostinger handles the purchase on its own site, under its own privacy policy.
Analytics and advertising
No analytics tool and no advertising network is installed on this site yet. If one is added later, this policy will name it and explain what it collects and how to opt out.
Your choices
You can block cookies in your browser settings, which also blocks the affiliate cookie described above — the site still works, and the guides and calculator still work. You can also use your browser’s private mode. If you want a copy of anything the site holds about you, there is nothing to copy: we hold no accounts and no personal records.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the “last reviewed” date at the top changes with it, and the change is described here in plain words. The current version is the one on this page.
