Web servers send cookies to web browsers, which then store the identifier (a string of letters and numbers) in them. Each time the browser requests a page from the server, the identification is provided back to it. It is possible for cookies to be “permanent,” or “session,” in nature. Web browsers retain persistent cookies, which remain valid until the specified expiration date unless they are manually erased by the user. Session cookies, on the other hand, expire at the end of the user’s session, when the web browser is shut down. In general, cookies do not include any information that may be used to identify a specific user, but we may link the personal information we have on file for you with data saved in or collected via cookies.

These opt-out procedures, however, rely on cookies to function, thus clearing your cookies will remove your opt-out.

Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache.

For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
