What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit websites. They allow websites to remember your device, store user preferences, manage secure authentication sessions, and analyze platform performance.
At PapelShip, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as local storage, session storage, and web beacons) to deliver a seamless commerce and qPapel license authentication environment.
How We Use Cookies
PapelShip uses cookies and tracking technologies for the following core purposes:
Essential & Security Operations: Maintaining user login sessions, securing payment checkout forms, preventing cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and verifying session integrity across storefronts and developer dashboards.
Preferences & Customization: Remembering store configurations, selected currencies, dark/light mode UI preferences, and regional settings.
Performance & Analytics: Measuring traffic patterns, monitoring qPapel API dashboard performance, identifying loading delays, and improving website functionality
Fraud Prevention & Security: Detecting unauthorized login attempts, card-testing attacks, and automated abuse across merchant stores.
Types of Cookies We Set
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of PapelShip and qPapel. They enable core functionalities such as session management, secure merchant checkout, API authentication token validation, and account access. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies as the platform cannot function properly without them.
2. Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors use PapelShip, such as pages visited, traffic sources, and error logs. This data is fully anonymized and used exclusively to enhance platform speed, reliability, and user experience.
3. Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow our platform to remember choices you make (such as language, currency preferences, or dashboard layouts) to provide a more personalized experience.
4. Third-Party Payment & Security Cookies
When processing transactions, embedded components from third-party payment gateways (including Stripe, PayPal, WeePay, and cryptocurrency gateways) may set their own cookies to ensure secure payment routing, fraud analysis, and PCI DSS compliance.
Controlling and Disabling Cookies
Most modern web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences through browser settings. You can choose to block, delete, or reject cookies.
Browser Settings: You can modify your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) to notify you when cookies are placed or to disable non-essential cookies entirely.
Impact of Disabling: Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impact platform functionality—such as preventing user login, causing checkout errors, or disrupting qPapel developer dashboard tools.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect technological updates, legal requirements, or operational changes. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
