If you sign up for The Newsletter, we send one email a week (Fridays) with that week’s news, reviews, deals, guides and mods. Sign-up uses double opt-in: we email a confirmation link to the address you give, and we only add you after you click it. You can unsubscribe from any newsletter email, or turn The Newsletter off in your account Preferences. The Newsletter is sent with MailPoet (Automattic). Account emails (confirming your address, password resets, security notices and data export links) stay separate and are not sent through MailPoet.
