PaymentIQ takes users’ privacy very seriously and is committed to complying with privacy laws and regulations on privacy in electronic communications. For this purpose, we have developed the following notice which is intended to give you the key information you need to manage the cookies we collect while you visit our website. 

What is a cookie?
Cookies are small files which are downloaded onto a device when the user accesses certain websites. Cookies can be accessed by the server and allow a website to recognize users and to understand  users’ navigation on different websites.

On the same principle and for the same purpose, other equivalent tracking technology may also be used such as html5 local storage. In the rest of this notice, the term “cookie” will cover all local tracking technology.

In practice, the website you visit sends information to the browser which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server.

What types of cookies do we use?
The following is a summary of the different types of cookies and their different purposes and uses:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
• Targeting cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
• Performance cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
• Functional cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
• Social media cookies: These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.
