Cookies Settings

This Cookies Settings notice explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on the Pay2Easy website, operated by:

It applies to all visitors to pay2easy.de and to the merchant dashboard and account areas reachable from it.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used.

Similar technologies — such as local storage, pixels, and SDKs used inside the Pay2Easy app — are covered by this notice wherever they serve the same purpose as a cookie.

Cookies on this site fall into four categories:

• Essential cookies, required for the site and account areas to function
• Performance and analytics cookies, which measure how the site is used
• Functional cookies, which remember your settings and preferences
• Marketing and targeting cookies, which personalise ads and measure campaigns

Only essential cookies are set by default. All other categories require your consent, given through the cookie banner shown on first visit.

Essential cookies enable core functionality such as secure sign-in, session management, load balancing, and fraud prevention. Without them, the website and merchant dashboard cannot operate correctly.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they cannot be switched off and are not subject to the consent choices described below.

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are viewed, how long visits last, and where visitors run into errors — so we can improve performance and content.

Data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and used for statistical purposes. It is not used to identify you personally.

Functional cookies remember choices you make on the site — such as language, region, or dashboard display settings — so you do not need to set them again on every visit.

Marketing cookies are used to show you relevant advertising off-site and to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. They may track your browser across other websites you visit.

These cookies are only set with your consent and can be withdrawn at any time through the cookie settings link in the site footer.

Some cookies are placed by third parties that provide services on our behalf, including analytics, payment infrastructure, customer support tooling, and advertising partners.

These providers may include:

• Web analytics and product-analytics providers
• Payment and fraud-prevention partners
• Customer support and live-chat providers
• Advertising and social-media platforms

Each third party is responsible for its own cookies and processes data subject to its own privacy policy.

You can accept or decline non-essential cookies from the banner shown on your first visit, and revisit your choice at any time from the “Cookie Settings” link in the site footer.

Declining a cookie category takes effect immediately and does not affect your ability to use the core website or dashboard.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Doing so may also remove cookies from other websites, and blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of this site from working correctly.

Instructions for managing cookies are available in the help documentation of your browser.

Retention varies by cookie purpose:

• Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser
• Essential and functional cookies typically persist for up to 12 months
• Analytics cookies typically persist for up to 14 months
• Marketing cookies typically persist for up to 12 months, or as set by the third-party provider

Individual retention periods for specific cookies are listed in the cookie settings panel.

We may update this notice to reflect changes in the cookies we use, applicable law, or our services. Material changes will be highlighted on the website, and the “Last updated” date above will be revised.

Where cookies process personal data, that processing is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains your rights under the GDPR — including access, correction, erasure, and objection.

You can exercise these rights, or ask questions about our use of cookies, using the contact details below.

The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply to this notice, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence.

If any provision of this notice is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain unaffected, and the applicable statutory provision will replace it.
