Cookie policy – Fast Payout

A small set of technical tools supports the payout guides of Fast Payout. Cookies are text files that a browser stores on a device, and local or session storage and counting pixels operate similarly, so all are described together below, with their purposes and the means of refusing them.

Legal basis

Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) requires clear and comprehensive information, and the user’s consent, before information is stored on a user’s device or already stored information is accessed. Storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service the user has requested is exempt. Consent has to meet the UK GDPR standard in Article 4(11) and Article 7: freely given, specific, informed, unambiguous and as easy to withdraw as to give. Processing of personal data through cookies also falls under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Necessary files

These keep a session open, balance load across servers, protect forms from abuse and store the cookie choice. As the site could not run reliably without them, they are set with no separate choice. Session files end when the browser is closed, and the stored choice lasts for twelve months at most.

Functional and analytics files

Remembering settings such as the comparison table last opened is the role of functional files, and counting page views to show what is read is the role of analytics files. Neither is set until consent is given through the cookie banner. IP addresses are shortened for analysis, and cross-site behavioural profiles are not built.

Services from other parties

Videos or maps embedded from outside providers can set files of their own, so the provider’s privacy rules also apply and objections go to that provider. No advertising cookies for personalised ads are set by Fast Payout without a clear choice in the banner.

Withdrawing or altering consent

The footer link “Cookie settings” allows consent to be changed or withdrawn whenever wished. Withdrawal works for the future, and earlier processing remains lawful. Browsers can also block and delete cookies through their privacy settings. If necessary files are deleted, the banner appears again and some features may stop working for a while.

Complaints

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the UK’s supervisory authority, and complaints about handling of personal data can be made to it. How data is processed is explained in the privacy policy.
