Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 12, 2024

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, PayCryptoPal) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

3. Types of cookies we use

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described below:

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our website functions.

• Session Cookies: These cookies are used to maintain your session state and authentication details throughout your visit to our website.
• Security Cookies: These cookies help us detect and prevent fraudulent activities and ensure the security of your account.

3.2 Performance and Functionality Cookies

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.

• Preference Cookies: These cookies remember your settings and preferences to enhance your experience (e.g., language preference, dark/light mode).
• Feature Cookies: These cookies recognize you when you return to our website, enabling us to personalize our content for you and remember your preferences.

3.3 Analytics and Customization Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our website for you.

• Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics and similar services to collect information about how visitors use our site. These cookies help us improve our website and your browsing experience.

3.4 Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

• Targeting Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
• Social Media Cookies: These cookies are set by social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks.

4. How can you control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in the cookie banner or by changing your browser settings.

4.1 Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.

4.2 Cookie Preference Tool

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking on the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website.

4.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so we are currently not set up to respond to such signals.

5. How often will we update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
