We use two different types of cookies on our websites :

1. A session cookie is a temporary cookie which is erased when you close the browser. The session cookie is used to keep track of which Hoist Finance web server you were connected to when you first loaded the site. Many websites including this site use more than one web server to handle and spread the traffic. It is important for the website to be able to know which web server is dealing with your traffic and so the session cookie contains that information.
2. A persistent cookie is the type of the cookie which remains on your computer or mobile device for a predefined period of time. Persistent cookies are used to collect visitor behaviour information and to collect statistics

Google Analytics

Please note that we use Google Analytics in order to provide you with the best user experience on our website. The use includes the "Universal Analytics" operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyse a user's activities across devices.

Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users interact with the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended to include IP anonymization in order to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. The data will be transferred to the USA with standard contractual clauses implemented as an additional safeguard

To summarize, Google Analytics does not store any personal information about website users. See the following link for confirmation from Google: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs/cookie-usage
