Cookie policy
Last updated:
The data controller is Private DevOps LTD (ПРАЙВЪТ ДЕВОПС ЕООД), company number (EIK) 204791393, Sofia. This page lists every cookie and every item of browser storage the wphost.bg site sets, with the purpose and lifetime of each. A cookie is a small text record a site leaves in your browser, which the browser sends back with later requests to the same site. Local storage (localStorage) is a similar record that stays in the browser and is not sent to the server by itself.
Necessary cookies
Without this cookie the site cannot remember your answer to the banner and would ask on every page. It is set when you press one of the two buttons.
| Name | What it is for | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| wph-cookie-consent | Remembers your answer to the cookie banner, "Accept" or "Refuse". | 180 days after either answer |
Our team also has a cookie for signing in to the site's administration. It is set only in a team member's browser after signing in, lasts up to 24 hours, and visitors of the site never get it.
The client account (my.wphost.bg) has its own sign-in cookie, wph_client. It is set when a client signs in with the link from the email, lasts up to 24 hours or until signing out, and holds the client's number, its expiry, the sign-in version (for signing out everywhere), a flag for an admin sign-in and a signature, no email or name.
When needed, Cloudflare, which the site runs behind, sets its own technical cookies for security, for example __cf_bm against bots (it expires after 30 minutes of inactivity), cf_clearance after a check, or _cfuvid when requests are rate limited. They are needed for security and are not used for advertising.
A cookie for our own statistics
One cookie that tells us whether your browser has visited the site on an earlier day. The site works without it, which is why it is listed apart from the necessary ones. It is set only after "Accept" and deleted if you withdraw consent.
| Name | What it is for | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| wph-vid | A random 32-character number that lets us recognise that the same browser has been here before. It holds no name, email or anything else about you. | 180 days, renewed on every visit |
The data from it stays on our server. We do not give it to anyone, do not sell it and do not use it for advertising.
Only while the cookie is set, the statistics also keep your IP address and city (from Cloudflare), so that we can see who is on the site and their path. They are deleted after 90 days.
The number is also stored with an order or an inquiry, so we know which visits led to it. If you place an order or send an inquiry, we can link the visits from the same browser to it. For a browser that has not ordered or asked, the number stays just a number.
It recognises a browser, not a person. If you browse from a phone and from a computer, those are two different browsers to us.
We keep visits for 13 months. If you place an order or send an inquiry, we keep it and the visits linked to it without a time limit.
Statistics without a cookie
Until you answer the banner, visits are counted without a cookie. The server recognises the visitor only within the day, with a number made from the IP address and the browser that changes every night. The IP address itself is not stored in the statistics. If you place an order or send an inquiry that day, the day's number is stored with it, so it stays linked to the visits of the same day. After "Refuse" your browser sends nothing for statistics while the refusal lasts.
Storage in our team's browsers
This record is in local storage and is never set for visitors.
| Name | What it is for | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| wph-analytics-off | Our team switches it on in their own browsers so their visits are not counted in the statistics. | Until the team switches it off |
How to change your choice
After "Accept" you can withdraw consent here with one click. We then record a refusal, delete the wph-vid cookie from this browser and set no new one while the refusal lasts. Visits recorded until then stay until the end of their period. The refusal is kept for 180 days, after which the banner asks again. After "Refuse" you can accept here.
You can also delete the site's cookies in your browser's settings. The banner will then ask again on your next visit.
