Cookies and Similar Technologies

Overview

Paymarka uses cookies and similar browser technologies for account sessions, user preferences, saved drafts and, where enabled and permitted, website analytics. Some storage is necessary for the service to work. Optional analytics helps us understand website usage and is controlled by the consent choices shown to visitors. Our use of these technologies may change as service providers or product features change; this notice will be updated to reflect the deployed service.

Necessary

Sign-in: a secure, HTTP-only cookie keeps you signed in and lets you sign out. A separate one is used for Paymarka's own staff sign-in. They are not used for advertising.
Browser storage: sign-in details for the current session, a deal draft you started on the website, and display preferences such as which workspace you chose.

Clearing cookies or browser storage may sign you out or remove an unsent draft. Avoid shared or untrusted browsers for sensitive work.

Optional analytics

If you allow it, the website loads Google Analytics to count page views and key actions such as starting a deal, signing up or sending an enquiry. It is not loaded until you choose “Allow analytics”. We do not describe this usage data as anonymous: it can include an online identifier and details about your browser and device.

Separately, Paymarka keeps its own record of how far visitors get through the service: a home page visit, a free draft, an account, a payment, a first proposal sent. To connect those steps, the website sets a pmk_vid cookie holding a random number (kept for two years) and a pmk_seen_todaycookie (until midnight) so a visit is counted once a day. They hold no name, email or phone number, are not shared with anyone, and stay on Paymarka's own servers. When you create an account, the number is stored with it so we can see which steps led there.

Payment, messaging, storage and other providers may use their own technologies when their features are used; see the Privacy Notice.

Your choices

You can decline optional analytics without disabling essential site features, and change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the foot of each page. You can also clear cookies and storage through your browser controls, although doing so may sign you out or remove unsent drafts.
