How do I exercise my rights regarding the use of cookies?
You have several options to set your consent preferences for cookies.
You can stop cookies from being downloaded on your device by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. Most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. You can find out how to do this for your browser by clicking “help” on your browser's menu or by visiting www.allaboutcookies.org. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to access or take full advantage of all our site's features.
Most browsers allow users to use a “private mode” by which cookies are deleted after your website visit. Please read the help section of your browser to learn more about how to activate the “private mode.” You can still visit our sites if your browser is in “private mode;” however, the user experience may not be optimal, and some utilities may not work.
If you want to remove previously stored cookies, you can manually delete them at any time. However, this will not prevent the sites from placing further cookies on your device unless and until you adjust your browser setting as described above. Please visit the help pages of your browser for additional information.
You can personalize your cookie preferences (except for strictly necessary cookies, which are required for site performance) on our sites by clicking on the “cookie settings” banner which appears on the site when it is opened. You can always access your cookie preferences by scrolling to the bottom of any of our sites and clicking on the Do Not Sell/ Do Not Share My Data link.
