When you visit the site again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Paygentic) are called “first party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies.” Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Website (e.g., analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the Website in question and also when it visits certain other websites. This Cookie Policy refers to all these technologies collectively as “cookies.”2. Why do we use cookies?
