1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how UCONNEQT LTD, trading as Payzu ("we", "our", or "us"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at payzu.co.uk. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

Please read this Cookie Policy alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details on how we use personal data.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, improve performance, and provide website owners with information about how visitors use their site.

Cookies are not harmful to your device and do not contain personally identifiable information such as your name or payment details. They help us recognise your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as filling in forms or navigating the website. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors interact with our website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. This helps us improve how our website works and identify pages that are not performing as expected.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable us 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 disable these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Marketing / Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not directly store personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

4. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• To ensure our website operates correctly and securely
• To remember your preferences and settings between visits
• To analyse website traffic and user behaviour to improve our services
• To understand which pages and content are most popular
• To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
• To provide you with relevant content and advertisements
• To prevent fraud and protect the security of our website

5. Cookie Consent and Management

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your preferences will be saved and applied on subsequent visits.

You can also manage your cookie preferences at any time through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View the cookies stored on your device
• Delete all or specific cookies
• Block cookies from specific websites
• Block all third-party cookies
• Block all cookies entirely

Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website and your browsing experience. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the site to work.

6. Third-Party Cookies

We currently use one third-party service that can place cookies on your device:

• Google Analytics — for website usage analytics and reporting. These cookies are only set if you click "Accept" on our cookie banner.

We do not currently use advertising or marketing cookies (such as Google Ads, the Meta Pixel or the LinkedIn Insight Tag). If we start using them, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the relevant third-party privacy policies for more information on how they use data collected through their cookies.

7. Data Retention

We only retain data collected through cookies for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Analytics and marketing data is generally retained on an aggregated, anonymised basis and is not used to identify you personally.

Essential cookies are typically deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies (such as those remembering your consent preferences) remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.

8. How to Disable Cookies

You have the following rights and choices regarding cookies:

• Browser settings: Configure your browser to block or delete cookies at any time.
• Google Analytics opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent data collection by Google Analytics.
