This Cookie Policy explains how **Filo Mail** uses cookies and similar technologies and should be read with our [**Privacy Policy**](/content/privacy-policy/index.html).

We set **strictly necessary** cookies/local storage (e.g., language). Where required by law, we ask for consent before enabling **Google Analytics**. We do **not** use advertising or cross-site retargeting cookies.

For how to control cookies, see **Your choices** below.

## 1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We group them as **Essential** (required for the site to work) and **Optional** (e.g., analytics). Optional cookies are used only with your consent (EU/UK ePrivacy & GDPR).

* * *

## 2. What we use (current setup)

We keep cookies to a minimum: **language preference** (essential) and **Google Analytics 4** (optional analytics). We do **not** use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

## 3. Your choices

- **Cookie Preferences:** We don’t offer an on-site cookie center at this time. If you previously consented to analytics, you can withdraw by clearing cookies and site data for this domain in your browser. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where supported and won’t re-enable analytics unless you consent again on a future visit.
- **Browser controls:** you can clear or block cookies in your browser settings.
- **Google Analytics opt-out:** you may install Google’s add-on: [Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on Download Page](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout)

## 4. “Do Not Sell or Share” & GPC (U.S.)

We do **not sell or share** personal information as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA). Our use of Google Analytics 4 is configured without Advertising Features or Google Signals, and we do not disclose data for cross-context behavioral advertising. Accordingly, we do **not** provide a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link.

We honor **Global Privacy Control (GPC)** signals where supported. If our practices change in the future, we will provide a prominent opt-out mechanism and update this notice.

## 5. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy as our services evolve. We will reflect changes on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
