Your Privacy and Security is important to us.
We employ the use of cookies. By using VatPay's website you consent to the use of cookies
in accordance with VatPay's privacy policy.
Most of the modern day interactive web sites
use cookies to enable us to retrieve user details for each visit. Cookies are used in some areas of our site
to enable the functionality of this area and ease of use for those people visiting. Some of our
affiliate / advertising partners may also use cookies.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of text that our web server stores on your computer or mobile device, which your browser sends to us when you
return to our site. Cookies do not necessarily identify you if you are merely visiting our website; however, a cookie may
store a unique identifier for each logged in user. The cookies we use are essential for the operation of the website, or
are used for performance, functionality and security purposes.
Each cookie is effectively a small lookup table containing pairs of (key, data) values - for example (firstname, John) (lastname, Smith).
Once the cookie has been read by the code on the server or client computer, the data can be retrieved and used to create a safe and secure browsing.
Why VatPay use cookies?
Cookies are a convenient way to carry information from one session on VatPay to another, or between sessions on related sites like My.VatPay.com, Blog.VatPay.com, Support.VatPay.com, www.Generate-Invoice.com
without having to burden a our web server with massive amounts of data storage. Storing the data on the server without
using cookies would also be problematic because it would be difficult to retrieve a particular user's information without
requiring a login on each visit to the website. That's why when you login to my.VatPay.com and close your session, you don't need to login when you come back. However, the cookies expires after some time.
If there is a large amount of information to store, then a cookie can simply be used as a means to identify a given user so that further
related information can be looked up on our server-side database. For example the first time you visits my.VatPay.com you will choose a
username which is stored in the cookie, and then provide data such as password, name, address, preferred font size, page layout, etc. - this
information would all be stored on the database using the username as a key. Subsequently when you revisit my.VatPay.com, our server will read the
cookie to find the username, and then retrieve all the user's information from the database without it having to be re-entered.
VatPay also collect Analytics and customisation cookies information that is used to help us understand
how our Websites are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are working.
Our Analytics cookie also tells us how to help us customise our Websites for you.
These cookies also collect information about which site the user came from,
the number of each user’s visits and how long the user stays on the websites.
We might also use analytics cookies to test new pages or features to see how users react to them.
VatPay will use advertisement cookies to make advertising messages more relevant to you.
These cookies perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing on your browser,
and also ensuring that the ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements
that are based on your interests.
How Secure are Cookies on VatPay?
There is a lot of concern about privacy and security on the internet. Cookies do not in themselves present a threat to privacy,
since they can only be used to store information that the user has volunteered or that the web server already has. Whilst it is
possible that this information could be made available to specific third party websites, this is no worse than storing it in a central database.
If you are concerned that the information you provide to VatPay will not be treated as confidential then you should question whether you
actually need to provide that information at all. Your privacy and security is our priority and we promise to keep your information safe and secure.
