Privacy and cookie policy
Last updated 5 September 2026.
This policy explains what personal data webs.me.uk collects, why, and what rights you have. It is written to meet the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
Who we are
webs.me.uk is an independent web hosting directory published from the United Kingdom. For any privacy question, or to exercise any right described below, contact kingsib@gmail.com. We are the data controller for personal data collected through this website.
What we collect
| Data | Why | Lawful basis | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Server access logs (IP address, browser, pages requested, timestamp) | Security, abuse prevention, diagnosing faults | Legitimate interests | Typically 30 days |
| Email you send us | To reply to you | Legitimate interests | Until no longer needed |
| Cookie consent choice | To remember your preference | Legal obligation / your consent | 12 months |
| Advertising and analytics identifiers | See below — only if you consent | Consent | Set by the third party |
We do not run user accounts, we do not sell anything, and we do not operate a mailing list. There is no login and no checkout, so we hold no passwords and no payment details.
Cookies
Essential cookies. We set one cookie to remember your choice about non-essential cookies. It contains no personal information and cannot be used to identify you. It does not require consent because without it we could not honour your preference.
Advertising cookies. This site may display advertising supplied by Google. Where it does, and where you have consented, Google and its partners may set cookies or read device identifiers to select and measure advertising.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.com.
- Where we serve advertising to visitors in the UK or EEA, consent is collected through a Google-certified consent management platform before any non-essential cookie is set. You can change or withdraw that consent at any time using the link at the foot of every page.
Analytics cookies. If analytics are enabled, they load only after consent and are used solely to count visits and understand which pages are useful.
Who your data is shared with
We do not sell personal data and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing. Data may be processed by:
- Our hosting provider, which operates the server and its logs.
- Google, if advertising or analytics are active and you have consented. Google acts as an independent controller for advertising data; see the Google Privacy Policy and how Google uses data from sites that use its services.
Some of these transfer data outside the UK. Where they do, transfers rely on the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, adequacy regulations, or equivalent safeguards.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these, email kingsib@gmail.com; we will respond within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data you may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
Children
This site is aimed at people buying web hosting and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
External links
We link to hosting providers and other third parties. Those sites have their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for them. Our outbound links are plain, unpaid links — see our editorial policy.
Changes
If this policy changes materially we will update the date at the top and, where the change affects consent, ask for your choice again.
