This Cookie Policy explains how Domain Monitor Hub (“Domain Monitor Hub”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at domainmonitorhub.com, the free domain tools hosted on it, and the application at app.domainmonitorhub.com (together, the “Service”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device to make it work, to remember your preferences, or to understand how it is used. We also use similar technologies such as your browser’s local storage, which works in a comparable way. In this policy, “cookies” refers to cookies and these similar technologies together.
How we use cookies
- Strictly necessary. These are essential for the Service to work. In the application, an essential session cookie keeps you signed in after you log in with Google. On our contact page, Google reCAPTCHA sets a cookie to tell people from bots — without it the form could not stay open to everyone. They cannot be switched off without breaking core functionality.
- Functional. These remember your choices. We store your light/dark theme preference in your browser’s local storage so the site looks the way you left it.
- Analytics (only with your consent). Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use our service so we can improve it. These cookies are only set if you accept analytics cookies; if you decline, they are not used, and this does not affect your use of the Service.
We do not use advertising, targeting or cross-site tracking cookies.
Cookies we use
Analytics cookies are listed for transparency and are only placed after you consent.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
dmh-theme |
Domain Monitor Hub | Remembers your light or dark theme preference | Functional (local storage) | Until you clear it |
| Sign-in session | Domain Monitor Hub (application) | Keeps you signed in to the application after you log in | Strictly necessary | Session |
_GRECAPTCHA |
Google reCAPTCHA | Spam protection on the contact form — set only on /contact/ | Strictly necessary | Up to 6 months |
_ga |
Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors to compile usage statistics | Analytics — set only with your consent | Up to 2 years |
_ga_<id> |
Google Analytics | Maintains analytics session state (GA4) | Analytics — set only with your consent | Up to 2 years |
The application’s essential session cookie is used only to keep you signed in; its exact name may vary. We do not sell the information collected through cookies, and analytics data is used only in aggregate to improve the Service.
Third-party cookies and requests
- Google Analytics sets the analytics cookies listed above — only if you consent.
- Google reCAPTCHA. Loaded on our contact page only, to keep the form free of automated submissions. It sets the cookie listed above and lets Google receive your IP address and interaction data for scoring. It is not loaded anywhere else on the site.
- Sign-in and alert channels. Signing in uses Google; if you configure Discord, Slack or a webhook as an alert channel, alerts are delivered there at your direction. These do not place cookies on our website.
Managing your cookies
- Consent. You can accept or decline analytics cookies when you first visit and change your choice at any time using the button below. Declining leaves only strictly necessary storage in place.
- Browser controls. You can block or delete cookies and clear local storage through your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the application — such as staying signed in — from working.
- “Do Not Track”. Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. As there is no common standard for it, we do not respond to it specifically, but we only use analytics cookies with your consent in any case.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the technologies we use or for legal reasons. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
