Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. You can use your web browser to:

• delete all cookies;

• allow all cookies;
• block third-party cookies;
• clear all cookies when you close the browser;
• open a 'private browsing' / 'incognito' session, which allows you to browse the internet without storing local data; and
• install add-ons and plug-ins to extend browser functionality.

You will find further information online for your preferred web browser. The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) also has useful practical advice on cookies and how users can protect their online privacy.
