Cookies Policy
Last updated: January 31, 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how testsmail ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, while others let us track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience and support the free service we provide:
- Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our websiteโfor example, keeping you signed in and maintaining your inbox session. Without them, parts of the site simply will not work.
- Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how our website is being usedโwhich pages are popular, where visitors come from, and where they run into problemsโso we can improve the experience.
- Advertising Cookies: These are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements, which may use cookies to show ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.
The specific cookies we rely on
To keep this policy transparent, here are the main categories of cookies and services you may encounter on testsmail:
- Session & authentication (first-party): Keep your inbox session active and remember your preferences as you move between pages.
- Google Analytics & Google Tag Manager (third-party): Provide aggregated, anonymized statistics about site usage. These tools help us measure traffic and improve performance.
- Google AdSense (third-party): Serves the advertising that keeps testsmail free, and may personalize ads based on your browsing.
How long do cookies stay on my device?
Cookies fall into two broad lifespans. Session cookies are temporary and are erased as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually; these are what allow a site to remember you on your next visit. The exact retention period varies by cookie and by the third-party provider that set it.
Google AdSense & DoubleClick Cookie
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services in Google's privacy & terms.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. Most browsers let you manage cookies from their settings menu:
Do Not Track signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals websites you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is no agreed industry standard for how to interpret DNT signals, our site does not currently respond to them differently. You can still control tracking through the browser and Google opt-out options described above.
Changes to this Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when this policy was last revised.
