This documentation stores what it needs to work: a session cookie when you sign in or keep a setting such as the help menu shown or hidden, the design you chose (Classic or Modern) and your language. Only if you agree, it also uses Google Analytics (through Google Tag Manager) to count visits; until then nothing is loaded from Google. Your choice is kept in a cookie for 6 months, and you can change it at any time under "Cookie settings" at the foot of every page. Details are in our Cookie Policy.
The session cookie for signing in and for forms, the cookies that keep your design and language, and the cookie that keeps this choice. They stay on because the website needs them; you can delete them in your browser settings at any time.
Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager (GTM-MPGWKTQV), counts visits and shows us which pages are read: the pages you open, the page you came from, your browser, device and screen size, and your approximate location derived from your IP address. Google processes the data for us and may transfer it to the USA. It sets the cookies _ga and _ga_* for up to 2 years. Off until you turn it on; when you turn it off again, Google is no longer loaded and these cookies are deleted.

SPF / Avoiding that mail are marked as spam

Note that the email sender should have same domain as the site, or alternatively same domain as SMTP server you set in 'TransportServer' if you use SMTP.
If this is not done then there is a high risk that the mails are blocked as spam by the receivers email server, and you will not get any warnings / errors about this other then user complaining that they don't get forgot password / registration activation / notification mails.
Same goes for AdminEmail if you leave this setting to blank.
