How to control and delete cookies
The “Do Not Track” setting
“Do Not Track” is a privacy feature built into most web browsers. When you enable it, it asks the websites you visit not to collect or track your web browsing data. Our cookie consent system respects this setting, so by turning it on you deny all non-functional cookies by default.
A guide to enabling “Do Not Track” in many popular browsers can be found here: https://www.howtogeek.com/how-to-enable-do-not-track-in-any-web-browser/
