Most web-browsers allow you to control cookies through their setting preferences, so you can prevent storage of cookies by choosing a 'disable cookies' option in your browser settings. But this can limit the functionality of what we offer and provide on our website as a result. So if you do not want to receive cookies, you just have to change your browser settings on your computer or other device you’re using to access the internet. To be assured that you have disabled cookies you will see an opted-out cookie on your browser-device. In this case we will be unable to set cookies to your device next time you visit us.
