Third-party cookies
When advertising is enabled, ad partners may set cookies to limit how often you see the same ad and to measure performance. They are only set after you accept the consent notice, and you can withdraw consent at any time by clearing the cookies for this site.
If we add analytics, this page will list the provider and the retention period before it goes live.
Local storage
Small preferences, such as a collapsed panel or the last domain you used, may be kept in your browser's local storage. That data never leaves your device and is removed when you clear site data.
Managing cookies
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings. Blocking the session cookie will break the mailbox, because the site will forget which address you are looking at. Blocking advertising cookies is harmless.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies.
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and site data.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
Do Not Track
We honour explicit consent choices rather than relying on the DNT header, which browsers and advertisers interpret inconsistently. Where consent is required, nothing non-essential loads until you choose.
