Enhancing User Experience Through Cookies and Local Storage: We leverage cookies and local storage to provide essential functionalities that our users enjoy, such as accessing specific content or determining which of your contacts are online.

Sometimes, the integration of these site features allows third parties to place cookies or local storage devices on your device. We recommend reading the privacy policies of these third parties carefully, as they are responsible for how they process your data. Some ad networks also allow you to adjust your preferences for internet browsing or opt out of targeted advertising.(3) Complementary Tracking Methods

These buttons connect to several external social networks that might collect data about your browsing behavior. It is advisable to consult their privacy policies for opt-out options and further details.

This helps us identify which emails are of interest and whether users not opening emails prefer to continue receiving them.
