Cookies Policy
This page explains what cookies are, which cookies CherryPay uses and how you can control them in your browser.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to keep them secure and to help remember your choices between pages or visits.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first‑party cookies) or by other websites that provide content on the page (third‑party cookies). Some cookies are strictly necessary for a website to function. Others, such as analytics or advertising cookies, are optional.

The session cookie is required for the logged‑in areas of CherryPay, including the Holiday Pay Calculator, the Payroll CRM and the free helper tools that rely on login. If you disable this cookie, you may not be able to sign in or stay signed in, and some features may not work correctly.
