4. How to Manage and Control Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except strictly necessary cookies). You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Common browser cookie management options include:
- Viewing what cookies are stored on your device and deleting them individually or in bulk.
- Blocking third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies.

For instructions specific to your browser, please consult:
4.2 Google Analytics Opt-Out
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing information with Google Analytics about visit activity.
Additionally, you can manage your Google account's ad personalisation settings at Google Ad Settings.
4.3 Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") feature that sends a signal to websites indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. As there is no consistent industry standard for handling DNT signals, the Site does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you may use the cookie management methods described above to manage tracking.
