Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to the site owners.

When you visit Free Email Database, we use cookies and similar technologies to recognise your browser, remember your preferences, and understand how you use our platform. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Free Email Database) are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by external services such as analytics.

Free Email Database uses a limited set of cookies to ensure our B2B email lead platform functions correctly and to understand how visitors use our site. We do not use any marketing or advertising cookies.

Below is a detailed breakdown of each cookie category we use, including individual cookie names, their purposes, and how long they remain on your device.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or customise your cookie preferences.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Here is how to manage cookies in popular browsers:

• Google Chrome — Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox — Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari — Go to Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge — Go to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data

Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Some features may not work properly if you block or delete cookies.

We use a limited number of third-party services that may set cookies on your device. These services are carefully selected and serve specific purposes related to site functionality and improvement.

Google Analytics 4 — We use Google Analytics 4 with Consent Mode v2 in cookieless mode. By default, analytics storage is denied and no cookies are set on your device. Google collects aggregate, anonymised data using cookieless measurement signals. No cookie consent banner is required for this configuration.

Plausible Analytics — We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool that does not use cookies, does not track users across websites, and does not collect personal data. Fully GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliant.

We do not use any advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or marketing automation cookies. Our third-party cookie usage is strictly limited to analytics purposes.

Different cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose. Here is a summary of how long our cookies are retained:

• Session cookies — These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. Our session and CSRF cookies fall into this category.
• Persistent cookies — These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. Our analytics cookies (up to 2 years), cookie consent preference (1 year), and functional cookies (1 year) are persistent cookies.

We regularly review our cookie usage and retention periods to ensure they remain proportionate to their purposes.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the cookies we use, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.

Your continued use of Free Email Database after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or this Cookie Policy, please do not hesitate to contact us.
