This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones PayOffway (payoffway.com, the “Site”) uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. Please read it together with our Privacy Policy and our Legal Disclaimer and Terms of Use.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser or device when you visit. They let a site remember your actions and preferences, such as your cookie choices, and give the site owner and advertising partners information about how the site is used.
Cookies can be “first-party,” meaning they are set by the Site itself, or “third-party,” meaning they are set by another company, such as Google. They can last only for your visit (“session” cookies) or stay on your device for longer (“persistent” cookies).
We also use the word “cookies” in this policy to refer to similar technologies, such as pixels, web beacons and local storage, that work in a similar way.
Who is responsible
The Site is operated by Alejandro Jimenez (Spanish tax ID: NIF 20227988V), Calle Almería, 8, 14546 Santaella (Córdoba), Spain. You can contact us at payoffway@gmail.com.
The cookies we use
The Site uses three types of cookies.
1. Essential cookies
These make the Site work, keep it secure and remember your cookie choices. They don’t need your consent.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cookie consent cookie (set by our consent plugin, “Cookie Compliance for WordPress – Cookie Consent, GDPR & CCPA”) | PayOffway (first party) | Remembers whether you accepted or refused cookies and which categories | Varies, as set by the plugin |
WordPress comment cookies (names start with comment_author_) | PayOffway (first party) | Remember your name, email and website on the comment form, only if you tick the box to save your details | About 1 year |
WordPress login cookies (such as wordpress_logged_in_*, wp-settings-* and wordpress_test_cookie) | PayOffway (first party) | Used only when the Site’s administrator is logged in. Regular visitors don’t receive them | Session to about 1 year |
2. Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are most read. Where the law requires it, we set them only after you consent.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics (first party) | Distinguishes users | 2 years by default |
_ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics (first party) | Persists session state | 2 years by default |
3. Advertising cookies
We use Google AdSense to show ads on the Site. Google and its partners use these cookies to serve ads, measure them, limit how often you see the same ad and, depending on your choices, personalize ads. Where the law requires it, we set them only after you consent.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__gads and __gpi | Google AdSense (set from our domain) | Serving and measuring ads | 13 months |
IDE and id | Google (doubleclick.net) | Showing Google ads on non-Google sites | 13 months in the EEA and UK, 24 months elsewhere |
DSID | Google (doubleclick.net) | Security and advertising for signed-in Google users | 2 weeks |
test_cookie | Google (doubleclick.net) | Checks whether your browser supports cookies | 15 minutes |
The durations for the Google cookies come from Google’s own descriptions, and they can change. Google may also set other cookies that aren’t listed here. For more detail, see Google’s pages on how Google uses cookies and its advertising and measurement cookies.
The cookies listed above are the ones we expect to see. The exact cookies on your device can vary depending on your choices, your location and updates by the companies involved. Your browser settings show the cookies currently stored.
Your consent and your choices
When we ask for consent. Where the law requires it, including for visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we use cookies other than essential ones only after you agree. When you first visit, a banner lets you accept, refuse or choose categories. In regions where consent isn’t required, we still give you the option to opt out.
Changing your mind. You can change your choices at any time through the Cookie settings link in the footer of the Site. Withdrawing consent doesn’t affect what was done before you withdrew it.
Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. You can find instructions in the help section of your browser, such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.
Advertising choices. You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google at Google’s Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
Analytics choices. You can refuse analytics cookies in our banner, or install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Please note that if you opt out of personalized ads, you’ll still see ads on the Site, but they may be less relevant to you.
Third-party cookies
Third parties, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons or IP addresses, to collect information as a result of ad serving and analytics on the Site. We don’t control these cookies. Their use is governed by the privacy policies of those companies. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Do we sell your data?
We don’t sell your personal information in exchange for money. As our Privacy Policy explains, advertising cookies can involve sharing identifiers with advertising partners, and some US state laws may treat that as “sharing” or “targeted advertising.” You can opt out using the choices above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when we change the cookies we use or when the law changes. The date at the top shows when it was last updated. If we make important changes, we’ll tell you through the Site, and we may ask for your consent again.
