This Cookie Policy (“Cookie Policy”) describes how SumUp Payments Limited, authorised Electronic Money Institution regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, and our affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively “SumUp”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) use cookies for our website “SumUp Academy”.
When you visit or interact with the SumUp Academy site, we, or our authorised service providers may use cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies for storing information to help provide you with a better, faster, and safer experience and for advertising purposes.
What are cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies?
Cookies – Small text files (typically made up of letters and numbers) that websites store on a visitor’s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. Cookies serve a variety of functions, like enabling us to remember certain information you provide to us as you navigate between pages on the Site. There are several types of cookies: Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session and allow us to link your actions during that particular browser session. Persistent cookies are stored on your device in between browser sessions, allowing us to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sites. First-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a third party site separate from the site you are visiting.
Web beacons – Small graphic images (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) that are typically used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked. We may use web beacons on the Services to compile statistics about usage of websites and the success of our marketing campaigns.
Flash Cookies – Technologies that store more information in your browser or device than cookies (also known as locally-stored objects), that are used on websites for purposes similar to cookies. We may use the terms “cookies” or “similar technologies” interchangeably in our policies to refer to all technologies that we may use to store data in your browser or device or that facilitate our automatic collection of personal information or help us identify you in the manner described above.
Why do we use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies?
Generally, we use these technologies for several reasons, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, remembering your username and password, enabling you to keep items in your shopping cart, letting us analyse how well our website is performing, and improving your experience. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Services to operate. Other cookies enable us and the third parties we work with to track and target the interests of visitors to our Site. For example, we use cookies to tailor content and information that we may send or display to you and otherwise personalize your experience while interacting with our Services and to otherwise improve the functionality of the Services. Finally, third parties serve cookies through our Services for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. What types of cookies we are using for SumUp Academy are described in more details below.
