Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how United Payments Ltd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.unitedpayments.co.uk. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them more efficient, and to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixels and local storage — work in comparable ways, and references to "cookies" in this policy include those technologies.

2. Types of cookies we use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

• Strictly necessary cookies. These are essential to enable you to navigate the website and use its core features, such as accessing secure areas, remembering form submissions and load balancing. The website cannot function properly without these cookies and they do not require your consent.
• Performance and analytics cookies. These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for example which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter errors. They help us measure and improve the performance of our site. All information is aggregated and anonymous.
• Functional cookies. These allow our website to remember choices you make (such as language or region) and provide enhanced features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
• Targeting / advertising cookies. These may be set through our site by advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

3. Specific cookies we use

The website may set cookies from the following providers for the purposes described:

• United Payments (first-party) — session management, form state, and security.
• Vercel Analytics / Speed Insights — anonymous measurement of page views, performance metrics and Core Web Vitals to help us optimise the site.
• Hosting and CDN providers — load balancing, caching and DDoS protection.

We do not currently use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If that changes, we will update this policy and seek your consent where required.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be placed by third parties acting on our behalf, such as analytics providers. We do not control these cookies and their use is governed by the privacy policies of the relevant third party.

5. Managing cookies in your browser
