Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 September 2026
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember you between requests - for example, that you are signed in. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage to store your session token.
Cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are required for the service to work. They cannot be disabled without breaking sign-in and mailbox access.
- Session / auth token: kept in your browser's local storage as gamermail_token so you stay signed in. Removed when you sign out. Expires after 7 days.
- Security cookies, used to protect forms against cross-site request forgery.
- Preference cookies: remember choices such as your dark-mode setting and which domains you have already dismissed.
Analytics and advertising
Non-essential, only on public pages
On public pages (this website, the blog and our tools) we may use Google Analytics to measure aggregate traffic, and Google AdSense to display advertising. These services may set their own cookies.
- Google Analytics: aggregate, anonymised usage statistics for public pages. We do not run analytics inside your mailbox.
- Google AdSense: may set cookies to serve and measure ads, including personalised advertising where you have consented. Google's own explanation is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Your choices
- Opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings.
- Opt out of many third-party ad cookies at aboutads.info/choices (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in.
