Cookie Policy
Last updated: 9 May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how WebPayMe ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at webpayme.com (the "Site"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use. This policy is designed to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) where applicable.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is being used. Cookies are set by the website you visit (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded in the website (third-party cookies).
Cookies can be "session cookies," which are deleted automatically when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. Cookies alone cannot be used to identify you personally; they only identify the device you are using.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We classify cookies into the following categories based on their function and purpose. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function; others help us improve your experience and understand how our Site is used.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly and cannot be disabled in our systems. They enable core functionality such as security, session management, and CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) protection. Without these cookies, parts of the Site may not work as intended. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your prior consent.

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site, such as which pages are visited most often, how users navigate between pages, and whether they encounter errors. We use this data to improve the performance and usability of our Site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.

3. Third-Party Cookies and Services
We also embed certain third-party services on our Site that may set their own cookies. These services include:
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to measure and analyze how visitors use our Site. Google may use the data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. For more information, visit Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
- Google Fonts: Our Site uses Google Fonts for typography. When you visit our Site, your browser may request font files directly from Google's servers, which may log your IP address. For more information, see https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq/privacy.

When you first visit our Site, we display a cookie consent banner that informs you about our use of cookies and asks for your consent to place non-essential cookies (analytics and performance cookies) on your device. You have the following choices:
- Accept All: You consent to the use of all cookies as described in this policy.
- Reject Non-Essential: You decline consent for non-essential cookies. Only strictly necessary cookies will be placed on your device.

6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals indicating that you do not wish to have your online activity tracked.

However, we respect your cookie consent choices as described in Section 4 above.
