Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and the choices you have — including how to opt out at any time.

Last updated: February 2026

01 — What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, work more efficiently, and to provide basic reporting information to site owners.

We also use localStorage — a browser-based storage mechanism — for similar lightweight purposes. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is never transmitted to our servers; it lives exclusively in your browser.

02 — Necessary Cookies

Always active

Required for the site to function. Cannot be disabled.

03 — Analytics Cookies

Optional — opt-in

Help us understand how visitors use the site. Only set if you accept analytics.

Analytics data is aggregate and non-identifiable. We use it only to understand general usage patterns (e.g. most visited pages, session duration). We do not use it to build personal profiles or serve ads.

04 — Google Consent Mode

How we handle analytics when you have not yet given consent.

We implement Google Consent Mode v2. When you first visit the site — before making any cookie choice — all analytics storage is set to denied by default. Google Analytics will not set cookies or collect identifiable data until you explicitly accept analytics.

If you reject analytics, Google may still receive a cookieless ping for conversion modelling purposes, but no cookies are set and no personally identifiable data is sent.

05 — Local Storage (Non-Cookie)

In addition to cookies, we use your browser's localStorage for the following purposes:

recentInbox

Stores the name of the last inbox you visited so the site can restore it on your next visit. Contains no personal data.

silktideCookieChoice_*

Stores your cookie consent preferences so you are not asked again on repeat visits.

localStorage data is never transmitted to our servers and is only accessible within your own browser.

06 — Managing Your Preferences

Cookie banner

Click the cookie icon in the bottom-left corner of any page at any time to open the preferences panel and change your consent choices.

Browser settings

You can also block or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings. Note that disabling necessary cookies may break core site functionality such as login.

Opt-out of Google Analytics

You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics across all websites.

07 — No Advertising Cookies

FreeCustom.Email does not serve ads and does not use advertising or tracking cookies of any kind. We do not share your data with advertisers, ad networks, or data brokers. The only third-party service with any data access is Google Analytics, and only when you have explicitly opted in.
