Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are, how QuickTemp Mail ("quicktempemail.pro", "we", "us", or "our") uses them on our website, and how you can exercise your choices to control them in your web browser. This document should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work efficiently, provide customized user experiences, and furnish analytical and reporting data.
In addition to traditional HTTP cookies, modern web applications utilize HTML5 Local Storage, which allows data to be stored locally within the user's browser without transferring the data back and forth to web servers on every single HTTP request.
2. How QuickTemp Mail Uses Cookies and Local Storage
Our core philosophy is data minimization. QuickTemp Mail only utilizes cookies and storage technologies that are either technically essential for delivering the service or integrated via our approved advertising partners.
