Cookie Policy ConsulHosting B.V.

Updated on 14 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how ConsulHosting uses cookies and similar browser technologies on this website. We use these technologies carefully: necessary cookies keep the website working, optional cookies are used only where they are allowed or where you have given consent.

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage. They can remember a preference, keep a feature working, measure use of the website or support advertising and conversion measurement.

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • Functional: to store cookie choices, keep basic website functions available, remember visitor choices such as dismissing a language notice, and provide live chat when you choose to open it.
  • Statistics: to understand how the website is used, where analytics tooling is enabled.
  • Marketing: to measure advertising performance, only after marketing consent.

We also set a small number of our own first-party cookies and browser storage entries. These remember your cookie and marketing consent choices, and help prevent duplicate or abusive use of interactive features such as article feedback and article view counting (for example the ch_vote_id, ch_cookie_consent and ch_ads_consent cookies, and ch_viewed session storage entries). These are strictly functional and do not require consent.

Functional cookies do not require consent when they are needed to provide the website or a feature you request, such as opening live chat. For optional cookies, such as statistics and marketing cookies, we ask for consent before those cookies are loaded. You can refuse optional cookies without losing access to the website.

Where personal data is processed, the legal basis is either our legitimate interest in operating and securing the website, performance of a requested service, or your consent for optional categories.

The overview below checks your current browser for cookies and browser storage visible to consulhosting.com. Browser security means we cannot read HttpOnly cookies or cookies set on another domain, but this overview still shows what this website can see and which optional services may place cookies after consent or interaction.

Advertising measurement cookies used only after marketing consent.

Some features are provided by third parties. Google advertising or conversion measurement is loaded only after marketing consent. Crisp live chat is loaded only when you open live chat, so the chat service can provide the support feature you requested.

To protect this website against abuse, bots and automated attacks, our network security provider Cloudflare may place a strictly necessary security cookie named cf_clearance. This cookie is required to keep the website secure and available, so it is placed without consent.

You can change your cookie choice at any time by using the button in the cookie overview on this page. You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. If you delete your choice, the cookie banner will be shown again.

We update this Cookie Policy when the website, cookies or third-party services change. The latest version is always available on this page.
