Our website uses cookies

Host Europe Group is changing so that we can make it easier for all of our customers to understand and control the cookies we use across our site.

What are cookies?

Cookies are very small text files containing information that is placed on internet users’ hard drives. The information a cookie contains is set by the website operator through the website’s server and it can be used by that server whenever you visit the site.

Cookies are used to save time and make visiting web sites more efficient and enjoyable. They can be used for many different reasons – from remembering log-in information and what is in your online shopping basket to tailoring online adverts so you see more adverts suited to what you want.

There is lots of guidance out there explaining what cookies are and what you can do. We are going to explain how cookies affect Host Europe Group and then other steps you can take, but if you want more information you can visit these pages:
