What are cookies and similar technologies, and what do they do?
Cookies and similar technologies are used to gather information from website visitors, for specific purposes.
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 and mobile application owners to make their websites and apps work efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Paysafe uses cookies to do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your browsing experience. We also use them to help ensure that any ads you see on our sites and those of others are more relevant to you and your interests.
If you visit our websites, mobile sites, or use our mobile apps, we will deploy cookies and similar technologies to provide an online service suited to the device you connect from, as well as to prevent and detect fraud and to help keep you secure. When you visit our websites from any device (e.g. mobile device or PC), we collect information about your use of the site, such as information about the device or browser you use to access the site (including device type, operating system, screen resolution, etc.), the way you interact with the site, and the IP address your device connects from.
This allows us to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns.
In many instances, our online services are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning, e.g. you may not be able to initiate or complete some activities within our secure online services unless these cookies or similar technologies are installed. Additionally, please note that we may not be able to process certain transactions if you are physically located in certain countries.
Cookies set by the website/app owner (in this case, Paysafe Group) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website/app owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website/app (e.g. such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Cookies and some of the similar technologies we use can also be disabled on your device settings or browser, but this may significantly impact the ability for our websites, mobile sites, or mobile apps to work on your devices.
What do the cookies do?
There are different types of cookies which are used for different purposes. In this section, we describe five different functions, but be aware that not all these types will be used on every website you visit and some cookies may fit into multiple categories.
‘Strictly necessary’ cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly and cannot be switched off in our systems.
They are activated when you visit our website and remain active for the duration of your visit.
‘Performance’ cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site to give you a better service.
‘Functional’ cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
‘Targeting’ cookies
These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
‘Social Media’ cookies
These cookies are set by a range of social media services where we have added them to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks.
