Byte Gift Cards AG ("WalletSpree", "we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and Services. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, your choices regarding cookies, and further information about cookies.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and process your personal data.

  • We do not engage in cross-site tracking

  • We do not create advertising profiles about you
  • We do not share cookie data with social media platforms

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide information to website owners, and improve the user experience.

1.1 Types of Cookies by Duration

  • Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They help maintain your session as you navigate through a website.
  • Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

1.2 Types of Cookies by Origin

  • First-Party Cookies: Cookies set by the website you are visiting. All cookies used by WalletSpree are first-party cookies.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Cookies set by domains other than the one you are visiting. We do not use third-party cookies for advertising purposes.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Authentication

To recognise you when you sign in and maintain your session securely across page requests.

Security

To protect your account and our Services from fraud, abuse, and unauthorised access.

Preferences

To remember your settings and preferences, such as language, currency, and display options.

Functionality

To enable features like recently viewed gift cards and saved checkout preferences.

Analytics

To understand how visitors use our Services so we can improve them.

Performance

To monitor and improve the speed and reliability of our Services.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise our cookies into three types based on their purpose:

Essential Cookies

Required

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website and Services. They enable core functionality such as security, authentication, and session management. Without these cookies, the Services cannot function properly. Because these cookies are essential, they cannot be disabled.

Functional Cookies

Optional

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They remember your preferences and settings to provide a more convenient experience. If you disable these cookies, some features may not work as intended, but core functionality will remain available.

Analytics Cookies

Optional

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve our Services, identify issues, and optimise the user experience. We do not use this data to personally identify you.

5. Your Cookie Choices

5.1 Cookie Consent

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or customise your cookie preferences. You can change your preferences at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer of our website.

5.2 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the basic functioning of our Services. Without these cookies, features like secure login and transaction processing would not work.

5.3 Optional Cookies

You can choose to disable functional and analytics cookies. However, please note that disabling these cookies may affect your experience:

  • Without functional cookies, we won't remember your preferences, and you may need to re-enter settings each visit
  • Without analytics cookies, we won't be able to understand how visitors use our site, which helps us improve our Services

6. Browser Cookie Settings

In addition to our cookie consent tool, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View what cookies are stored on your device
  • Delete all or specific cookies
  • Block all cookies or cookies from specific websites
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Accept all cookies
  • Receive a notification when a cookie is set

Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:

Please note that blocking all cookies may prevent you from accessing certain features of our Services, including the ability to log in to your account.

7. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies to collect information:

7.1 Local Storage

We use browser local storage to store certain preferences and temporary data on your device. Local storage is similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or settings.

7.2 Log Files

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit our Services and store it in log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, device information, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps. We use this information for security, troubleshooting, and analytics purposes.

7.3 Device Fingerprinting

For fraud prevention and security purposes, we may collect information about your device configuration (such as screen resolution, timezone, and installed fonts) to create a device "fingerprint". This helps us identify potentially fraudulent activity and protect your account. We do not use device fingerprinting for advertising purposes.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that they do not track the user. Because there is no common industry standard for DNT, we do not currently respond to DNT signals.

However, as described in this policy, we do not engage in cross-site tracking or sell your data to third parties for advertising purposes, regardless of DNT settings.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.

For material changes, we may also provide notice through our website or by other means. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
