How to control Cookies
The UK Information Commissioner’s Office has provided the following guidance on Cookies:
- You can read information on Cookies on different websites, including AboutCookies.org and AllAboutCookies.org.
- The European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website ‘Your Online Choices’: allows you to install an add-on to decline Cookies across different advertising networks. Google has developed a browser add-on to allow users to decline Google Analytics on all websites which use it. This is also available in the Chrome web store.
- Some browsers include a feature known as ‘Do Not Track’ or DNT. This allows you to choose whether a website can track you. However, whilst DNT is available in many browsers, websites do not need to recognise this request, so it may not always work. You can get help on how to use DNT in Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera.
- For more information on how browsing works, visit the support pages for your browser: Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari (IOS mobile and desktop) and Opera.
If you worry about online tracking you can:
- Install a privacy-friendly browser on your device, such as Mozilla Firefox, Firefox Focus or Brave;
- Install anti-tracking and ad-blocking plug-ins on that browser, such as uBlock, Ghostery or PrivacyBadger; and
- Use privacy-friendly web search engines, such as DuckDuckGo or Qwant.
