Both are strictly necessary, so no consent banner is required. We do not set analytics or advertising cookies. Any change to that will be published here first and consent sought where the law requires it. Third-party sites you reach through links (registrars, blocklist operators, The Email Shop) set their own cookies under their own policies.
