Last updated: March 28, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you use the site.

2. How We Use Cookies

PayStubVault uses cookies for the following purposes only:

Essential Cookies

Always Active

Required for the site to function. These include security cookies (to protect against fraud), session cookies (to keep you logged in during your visit), and theme preference cookies (to remember your light/dark mode selection). You cannot opt out of these without degrading site functionality.

Analytics Cookies

Optional

Help us understand how visitors interact with PayStubVault by collecting anonymized data about pages visited, time spent, and errors encountered. This information is used solely to improve our service. These cookies do not identify you personally.

3. Third-Party Cookies

PayStubVault does not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. We do not allow third-party trackers on our site.

However, some essential services we use may set their own cookies:

  • Payment processing. If you make a payment, Stripe may set cookies to process the transaction securely
  • Email delivery. If you receive an email, your email provider may set its own cookies

4. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

  • Browser settings — Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or limit cookies through their settings. Disabling essential cookies may break site functionality.
  • Opt out of analytics — Because our analytics cookies are anonymized and optional, there is no specific opt-out mechanism. You can block them via your browser settings.
  • Clear existing cookies — You can clear all cookies from your browser at any time.

5. Do Not Track

PayStubVault respects "Do Not Track" browser signals. When detected, we disable analytics cookies. Essential cookies required for site security and functionality will remain active regardless.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
