What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. Similar technologies include local storage, pixel tags and SDKs. For simplicity, this policy uses "cookies" to refer to all of them.

Cookies PayactivUSA uses

Strictly necessary

These are required for the site to function — session cookies that keep forms working, security cookies that prevent CSRF attacks, and a cookie that remembers you dismissed a notice. You cannot disable these without the site breaking.

Analytics

We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which Payactiv articles people read, where they come from, and what breaks. These cookies collect aggregated information — not personal information in the identifying sense — and are not used for advertising.

Preferences

These remember things like whether you prefer light or dark mode, or whether you have already seen a particular on-page tooltip.

What we don't use

  • No cross-site advertising cookies.
  • No social-media tracking pixels (Facebook, TikTok) embedded in the main site.
  • No session recording / replay tools that capture keystrokes on form fields.
  • No sale or sharing of cookie data with data brokers.

How to manage cookies

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Browser-specific instructions:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Note that blocking all cookies may break site features that depend on strictly necessary cookies.

Global Privacy Control

PayactivUSA honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out of sale/sharing where applicable.

Third-party services on PayactivUSA

The Payactiv application form on our homepage is embedded from a licensed lead-generation partner. That partner's cookies may be set when the form loads; their use is governed by their own privacy policy.

Changes to this policy

We update this cookie policy when our stack changes. Material changes are announced via a banner for at least 30 days.
