For privacy requests, email info@emailstackguide.com.
Hosting is provided by STRATO. The site runs on WordPress with the Extendable theme.
2. What this site does
Email Stack Guide publishes editorial comparisons and guides about email marketing and creator tools. Some pages may name tools that later carry affiliate disclosure. Commission arrangements do not change the price you pay a vendor.
Visitors can read the published pages without creating a site account. This site does not use analytics or advertising cookies. There is no cookie consent banner, because ordinary page views do not set cookies.
3. Personal data we may process
3.1 Messages you send by email
If you email us at info@emailstackguide.com, we use your message and address only to reply and to handle your request. Please do not send special-category data.
3.2 Technical data when you visit
When you load a page, hosting and WordPress process technical data such as IP address, date and time, requested URL, referrer and user-agent, in order to deliver the site, keep it secure and diagnose faults.
3.3 Cookies and scripts
Ordinary pages: loading public content pages does not set cookies. Script tags on those pages are first-party WordPress and theme files on emailstackguide.com.
WordPress login page: the login screen at /wp-login.php sets a strictly necessary cookie named wordpress_test_cookie. WordPress uses it only to check that the browser accepts cookies before you log in. It is set on the login page, not on ordinary content pages.
Analytics and advertising: this site does not use analytics or advertising cookies or tags.
Affiliate partners: if you later click an outbound partner link, that partner may set cookies on its own domain under its own notice.
