Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Piston Technologies, Inc. ("PistonPay," "we," "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on piston.com and related public marketing pages. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.

1. Our consent standard

PistonPay does not load analytics, marketing, advertising, or session-recording technologies until you provide consent (or until a recognized browser privacy signal applies). Required cookies used for authentication, security, fraud prevention, and site operations remain active because they are necessary to operate the service safely.

2. Consent choices

  • Accept All — enables required and optional cookies.
  • Reject Non-Essential — keeps only required cookies.
  • Customize — choose analytics and/or marketing categories.

You can change your decision anytime via Cookie Settings in the website footer. Consent decisions are stored with a visitor identifier and the active cookie policy version.

3. Required cookies

  • Authentication

    Sign-in session cookies for fleet and partner portals.

  • Security

    Protects against abuse, CSRF, and unauthorized access.

  • Fraud Prevention

    Detects suspicious fueling and payment activity.

  • Site Operations

    Keeps the site functional (load balancing, preferences).

4. Optional cookies

  • Analytics

    Helps us understand how visitors use piston.com.

  • Marketing

    Measures campaign performance and engagement.

  • Advertising

    Supports relevant ads and conversion measurement.

  • Session Recording

    Optional session replay to improve product experience.

5. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

If your browser sends the Sec-GPC: 1 signal (Global Privacy Control / UOOM privacy preference), we automatically disable analytics and marketing cookies, store that preference, and do not require additional interaction.

6. Third parties

When analytics consent is granted, we may load Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics to measure aggregated site usage. These tools are blocked until consent. Marketing or advertising tags, if ever enabled, likewise require consent and remain blocked under GPC.
