I am sure a lot of you guys are using your primary gmail to join websites that provide certification. There is a chance that they will use your email for marketing and sorts. While using primary gmail to sign up. Instead of just entering email, put +sitename with your email. For eg . If you are signing up at [example.com](http://example.com) then enter your email as [myemail+example@gmail.com](mailto:myemail+example@gmail.com) and you will receive mail at your original gmail. This will let you know who sold your email to the third party. Enjoy learning. ---
