01Scope
This Notice describes cookies and similar browser storage used on payfux.com and its operator portal. Payfux currently uses them for authentication, product environment, display preferences, demo state, onboarding progress, and performance adaptation. This Notice does not claim the use of advertising or cross-site behavioural tracking cookies.
03Strictly necessary storage
| Name or category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
payfux_sid | HttpOnly session cookie used to authenticate the signed-in operator. It is not readable by page scripts. | Up to 30 days, or earlier sign-out, revocation, or expiry. |
payfux_admin_view | Short-lived administrator view context. It does not grant a customer permission and state-changing actions remain restricted. | Up to 1 hour or earlier clearance. |
| Security and request controls | Server-side or edge values needed to route, protect, and validate a request where configured. | Session or the minimum operational period. |
Blocking necessary session storage prevents sign-in and authenticated product use.
04Preference and demo storage
| Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
payfux-theme | Remembers the operator's light or dark display preference. | Until cleared or changed. |
payfux-env | Remembers whether the portal asks for live or test read data. It does not enable money movement. | Until cleared or changed. |
| Onboarding display preferences | Remembers selected setup goals or whether a completed onboarding panel was dismissed. | Until cleared or reset. |
| Demo state and profile | Keeps a read-only demo and its fictional onboarding choices within the browser session. | Browser session, or earlier exit from demo. |
pf-tier | Adapts optional visual complexity to the browser's measured capability. | Browser session. |
05Analytics and advertising
The current public landing does not require an analytics, advertising, or social-media tracking cookie. If Payfux later introduces an optional technology that is not strictly necessary, this Notice and any consent control must be updated before that technology is enabled.
06Your controls
Browser settings can inspect or clear cookies, local storage, and session storage. Clearing payfux_sid locally may remove the browser's credential, but use the Sign out control where possible so the server session is also revoked. Preference and demo values may be cleared without deleting account records held on the server.
07Updates and contact
Payfux reviews this Notice when browser storage changes. Questions may be sent to [email protected] with the subject “Privacy”. The effective date at the top identifies the reviewed version.
