Cookies are small bits of code that websites use to store information in your browser. The Proton Mail and Proton VPN websites require cookies to be enabled so that we can store your current session information and remember your login details between sessions.

Note that the Proton Mail and Proton VPN websites do not use third-party tracking cookies, and third-party cookies are not required for our websites to function properly. We recommend blocking third-party cookies for improved privacy when browsing the internet, but please be aware that doing this may cause some websites to work incorrectly.
