Your choice
You can use this site without optional cookies, analytics or advertising measurement. Choose Reject optional, Accept optional or individual purposes in Cookie settings, available in every site or account footer. Optional purposes start off. Closing a notice, browsing or accepting service terms does not grant cookie consent.
Necessary browser storage supports authentication, security and remembering your privacy choice. It is not used for advertising. A payment provider's separate checkout can have its own notice and storage; our preference control does not operate inside a third-party website.

Security verification
The sign-in, registration, password-reset request and password-reset completion forms use Google reCAPTCHA v3 when enabled. Its script loads when you submit one of these forms, to assess automated abuse. Google receives technical and network signals for this assessment and may set its _GRECAPTCHA security cookie. Our server verifies the resulting token, its action, domain and risk score before processing the form.
This security check is separate from optional Analytics and is not switched off by rejecting optional cookies. It does not load on initial page display or on other public pages. If the check cannot run, the form cannot be submitted; allow Google reCAPTCHA and retry. See Google’s Privacy Policy, Terms of Service and reCAPTCHA cookie information. The Privacy Notice explains the controller and your rights.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is optional and remains inactive until the site's Analytics property is configured. When available, it is loaded only after explicit analytics consent on public marketing, documentation, contact and legal pages. The account, authentication, administrative and API areas do not load Analytics. Our integration excludes account IDs, names, emails, order/server references, form values, URL query strings and fragments from the analytics data it submits. After consent, selecting a VPS plan can send a select_plan event with the public plan ID, selected location ID when present, displayed billing period and the public page address without query strings or fragments. A selection is an expression of interest, not a purchase. This event does not contain the destination link, plan text or checkout details.
Google receives analytics identifiers and technical/network information needed for the request. Advertising storage, advertising user data and personalisation remain denied. See Google's privacy policy and Analytics data information. The Privacy Notice describes the controller, purposes, recipients, transfers and rights.
Advertising measurement (Meta Pixel)
We advertise on Facebook and Instagram. Advertising measurement is optional and uses the Meta Pixel provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. It is loaded only after explicit consent to advertising measurement. It then records page views on public marketing, documentation, contact and legal pages and on the registration form, a ViewContent event on VPS plan and location pages, and an AddToCart event with the public plan ID when you select a VPS plan. After you complete a registration, a CompleteRegistration event is sent without account details. When you view a paid invoice payment within a day of payment, a Purchase event is sent once with the amount and currency only. Account, administrative and API pages otherwise do not load the Pixel.
Our integration switches off Meta's automatic collection of button and page metadata and does not send names, email addresses, phone numbers, form values, account IDs or order, invoice or server references. Meta receives its browser identifiers (_fbp, _fbc), the page address, the event details above and technical/network information such as IP address and browser type. Meta can link this with a Facebook or Instagram account you are signed in to and uses it to measure and deliver our ads, as described in Meta's Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy. For collection and transmission through the Pixel we and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. are joint controllers under Meta's Controller Addendum; Meta is responsible for its own later processing and for answering rights requests about the data it holds. Meta may transfer data outside the EEA under the safeguards described in its privacy policy. The Privacy Notice describes the controller, purposes, recipients, transfers and rights.
Changing or withdrawing your choice
Reopen Cookie settings and choose Reject optional to withdraw all optional categories, or save individual purposes. Optional processing is blocked immediately, known first-party Analytics and Meta Pixel cookies and optional preferences are cleared, and the next page uses the updated policy. Withdrawal does not undo data already lawfully transmitted. Contact abuse@geekydigital.cloud for a data-rights request, including a request concerning information previously sent to a processor.
Choices last 180 days. A changed purpose, notice, configured Analytics property or Meta Pixel requires a new choice. We retain a dated record of what you chose and the information shown for up to five years to demonstrate and apply the choice; no IP or user agent is added to that record. Browser settings can remove all site storage at any time, which also removes sign-in and saved choices.
