YOUR BROWSER. YOUR CHOICE.
Cookies, explained.
Updated 11 November 2026.
Cookies are small pieces of information saved in your browser. Vpsfarmer uses them to keep you signed in, protect sign-in requests and remember the choices you make. Cookies do not host your VPS or process your payments.
Essential cookies
These support account and security features. They are separate from optional preferences. Your cookie choice is saved for 180 days so we can respect it on future visits. Signing out ends your account session; rejecting optional cookies does not sign you out.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| vf.sid | Account session. Contains a session identifier, not your password. Protected from browser scripts. | Up to 8 hours; ends on sign-out. |
| vf.signin / vf.oauth | Protect social sign-in or account linking when you start those actions. Protected from browser scripts. | Up to 10 minutes; cleared on callback. |
| vf.cookie-choice | Remembers whether you allowed optional preference storage, the choice version and when you chose. | 180 days. |
Optional preference cookie
If you select “Allow preferences” or enable preferences in Cookie settings, vf.preferences remembers only your selected hourly, monthly, half-yearly or yearly billing cycle for up to 180 days. Changing this choice does not change existing orders. Selecting “Essential only” removes this optional cookie. Your current page selection can still work without being saved for another visit.
Other browser storage and providers
The dismissed launch banner and your animation pause choice are remembered in session storage for the current browser tab session. We do not currently install analytics or advertising trackers. If you choose a payment or social sign-in service, that provider may use its own cookies under its own notice. Our preference switch controls Vpsfarmer’s optional storage, not a provider’s website.
Change your choice
Use Cookie settings in the website footer or server controls at any time. You can also delete cookies through your browser. If you delete the choice cookie, we will ask again. Blocking all cookies may prevent sign-in. If browser storage is unavailable, your choice applies to the current page and may be requested again after reloading.
