HostLabReviews.com ("HostLab Reviews", "we", "us") is an independent web hosting review site published by Adrian Holt in the United States. Our mission is to provide honest, data-driven hosting comparisons. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our site.
We do not require you to create an account, provide your name, or share any personal information to use our site. We collect only anonymous, aggregated analytics data through Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site — such as pages viewed, time on page, referral sources, and general geographic region.
Our site uses cookies set by Google Analytics to measure traffic and usage patterns. These cookies do not personally identify you. GA4 operates in cookieless mode where required by law. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Our site contains affiliate links to web hosting providers. When you click an affiliate link, the destination site may set its own cookies for tracking purposes. These cookies are governed by the respective provider's privacy policy, not ours. We use URL parameters (UTM tags and SubIDs) in affiliate links to track which links generate clicks — this data is anonymized and cannot identify individual users.
We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to HostLab Reviews and/or other sites.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also learn more about how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits. Users may opt out of personalized advertising via www.aboutads.info.
We use the following third-party services:
Google AdSense — advertising. Google Privacy Policy.
Google Analytics 4 — anonymous site analytics. Google Privacy Policy.
Google Fonts — web typography via Google’s CDN. Google Fonts Privacy.
Cloudflare — hosting and CDN. Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
We do not sell or rent personal information. Advertising and analytics partners process data as described above and in their own policies. Affiliate partners may receive anonymized click attribution when you use our links.
Our site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Depending on your jurisdiction (including under GDPR for EU/EEA residents), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, these rights are generally not applicable. If you have questions, contact us below.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
