What This Policy Covers

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how mail-temp-mail.xyz uses them, what choices you have regarding cookies, and how to manage or remove them.

We want to be completely transparent about how our site uses cookies — especially since our service is built around protecting your privacy online.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide website owners with information about how visitors use their site.

Cookies are not programs — they cannot install software, carry viruses, or access other files on your device. They simply store small amounts of data that help websites recognize you on return visits.

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies — Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies — Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them
  • First-party cookies — Set directly by mail-temp-mail.xyz
  • Third-party cookies — Set by external services that we use (like Google AdSense or Google Analytics)

2. How mail-temp-mail.xyz Uses Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

2.1 Essential / Functional Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. Without them, certain features of the site — such as the temporary email inbox — may not work correctly.

Cookie TypePurpose
Session cookiesKeep your temporary inbox active during your visit
Security tokens (CSRF)Protect you from cross-site request forgery attacks
Language/preference cookiesRemember your language and display preferences

These cookies do not track you for advertising purposes and cannot be disabled without affecting how the site works.

2.2 Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information such as:

  • Which pages you visit and how long you spend on them
  • How you arrived at our website (search engine, direct link, etc.)
  • Your general geographic location (country/city — not your precise location)
  • What device and browser you are using

This information is collected in aggregate and is used to improve the website experience. It does not personally identify you.

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

2.3 Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

mail-temp-mail.xyz uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to you based on your browsing history on this and other websites.

These are third-party cookies set by Google, not by us directly.

What Google AdSense cookies do:

  • Track your visits to this website and other websites to show you more relevant ads
  • Measure how effective the ads shown on our site are
  • Limit how many times you see the same ad

Opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will stop seeing ads on our site — it means the ads you see will be less tailored to your interests.
