MailerLite may use tracking technologies, including tracking pixels and link tracking, to provide information about newsletter engagement.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in our marketing emails or by contacting us at [email protected].
Unsubscribing from marketing emails does not prevent us from sending essential communications relating to your purchases, course access, or workshop registrations.
