Last Updated: March 30, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how 1secmail ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at 1sec-mail.com (the "Website"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding their use.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following types of cookies on our Website:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

2.3 Performance/Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Some cookies may be placed by third parties when you use our Website. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. We do not control these third-party cookies and suggest that you check the privacy policies of these third parties to understand how they use cookies.

Third parties that may place cookies through our Website include:

  • Google Analytics (for website analytics)
  • Cloudflare (for security and performance)

5. Your Cookie Choices

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.

How to Manage Cookies in Major Browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data
  • Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

You can also opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Given that there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Website currently does not respond to DNT signals.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Cookie Policy on our Website. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our cookie practices.
