Cookie Policy
Last updated: 29 April 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how PayToolkit uses cookies and similar technologies. We use a minimal number of cookies and do not employ tracking or advertising cookies.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, improve security, and remember preferences. Cookies cannot access files on your device or run programs.
2. Cookies We Use
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
paytoolkit_cookie_consent |
Essential | Remembers your cookie consent choice so the banner does not reappear | 1 year |
This is the only cookie we set directly. It is essential for the website to function correctly and does not collect any personal or financial data.
3. Third-Party Cookies
PayToolkit contains affiliate links to third-party services (e.g., business bank accounts, accounting software, insurance providers). When you click these links, the destination website may set cookies on their domain to track referrals and attribute commissions.
We do not control these third-party cookies. Examples include:
- Awin — affiliate tracking for Starling Bank, Tide, and other partners
- Impact / Partnerize — affiliate tracking for FreeAgent, QuickBooks
- Individual merchants — Airbnb, Booking.com, CompareTheMarket
These cookies are set by the third party, not by PayToolkit. Please review the privacy and cookie policies of the respective services for more information.
4. Analytics
We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any cookie-based analytics tools. If we add analytics in the future, we will use a privacy-focused, cookie-less solution (such as Plausible or Cloudflare Web Analytics) that does not require cookie consent.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Deleting cookies will reset your consent preference, meaning the cookie banner will reappear on your next visit.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new features that require additional cookies. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
