Welcome to MailSped. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy. We are committed to transparency regarding our use of cookies and providing you with control over your data.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which can also store or access information on your device for tracking purposes.
We categorize the cookies we use into the following types: • **Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary):** These cookies are crucial for the basic functionality of our website and enable you to navigate and use its features, such as accessing secure areas or remembering items in a shopping cart. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. • **Performance & Analytics Cookies:** These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages they visit most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. This data helps us understand and improve the performance of our website. They typically collect anonymized or aggregated data. • **Functional Cookies:** These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (like your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. • **Targeting/Advertising Cookies:** These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.
