Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. To do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the "Help," "Tools," or "Edit" settings).
Please note that if you set your browser to block cookies, you may not be able to access certain parts of my website, and some features may not work properly.

Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Due to the lack of a common understanding about how to interpret these signals, my website currently does not respond to "Do Not Track" signals.
