Sorry, I should have explained better.
I have email via a different provider, but a domain registered with WordPress for the website. I wish to push all emails to the WordPress domain to my own email (forwarding). However, that option is not available to me.
The reason that the option is not available to me is that I registered via WordPress for GMail. However, I did not like it and cancelled the subscription. Something has not told the WordPress site that I no longer have GMail and I am told to manage my emails through GMail which I no longer have. I need that “resetting” so that I can use forwarding again.
Hope that’s better!
For the EU cookies law is really governed by PECR. However, your points are well made.
Personally I want a website that drops no cookies at all, or at worst essential only. If I can’t get WordPress to do this, then I will have to look at alternative site providers, which is a shame.
