There are ways you can control the cookies you accept or decline. In most browsers you can change your settings to let you refuse cookies.

Some cookies are needed to simply allow the page to load properly so if you block all cookies, it may cause problems in accessing websites or seeing all of the content.

‘Do not track’ (DNT) is a feature that some browsers offer as a default choice. If you enable it then websites receive a signal requesting that your browsing isn’t tracked.
