    The email is obfuscated on the cookie page, but the visitors have no way of clicking or seeing what email address they should contact.

    Hi @simonclay ,

    The obfuscation is there to protect the address from bots and crawlers that scrape pages looking for email addresses to spam. To human visitors, the end result is just plain text showing the real email (e.g. [email protected]), which they can read and copy into their email client.

    It’s intentionally not a clickable mailto: link, because that’s the easiest pattern for scrapers to harvest. So visitors do see the correct address, they just can’t click it directly.

    I hope this answer your question.

    Best regards,
    Antonio
