Who we are

HostShield is operated by SIA AKAL, registration number 40203537407, Gotfrīda iela 9, Krogsils, Ķekavas pagasts, Ķekavas novads, LV-2111, Latvia. Questions about cookies or personal data can be sent to support@hostshield.store.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored by a website in your browser. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage. They can remember a session, cart, language, security state, or preference between page visits. Some are set by HostShield and others may be set by a service used on a HostShield page.

Cookie categories

Strictly necessary

These technologies support account login, security, consent choices, cart state, checkout redirects, and other core functions. They are used because they are necessary to provide a service you request or to keep the service secure. Blocking them in your browser may prevent parts of the shop or dashboard from working.

Preferences

Preference storage can remember choices such as language and interface settings. Where a preference is not strictly necessary, we ask for the permission required by applicable law before storing it.

Analytics

Analytics technologies help measure visits and understand how pages are used. HostShield will not activate non-essential analytics storage unless the required consent has been collected. If analytics is enabled, the consent interface will identify that choice.

Marketing

Marketing technologies may be used to measure advertising or tailor promotions. HostShield will not activate non-essential marketing storage without the required consent. Declining optional cookies does not prevent access to the essential website service.

Third-party services

Checkout, account, maps, video, or other embedded features may connect to third-party services. Those providers may process technical data or set storage under their own policies when their feature is loaded. We limit optional integrations until the appropriate choice has been made where consent is required.

Managing your preferences

You can accept or reject optional categories through the HostShield cookie notice when it is displayed. You can also delete HostShield site data in your browser and reload the website to make a fresh choice. Browser settings can block or remove cookies generally, but blocking necessary storage may clear your cart, sign you out, or make checkout and dashboard features unavailable.

Legal basis and retention

Necessary technologies are used to provide requested services, protect the website, and pursue our legitimate interest in reliable operation. Optional cookies are used on the basis of consent where required. Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose: session items expire when the session ends, while saved preferences may remain until they expire or you remove them. More information about personal-data rights is available in the Privacy Policy.
