Can a user block cookies?

You can switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to prevent it from accepting cookies (Learn how here). Doing so is likely to limit the functionality of ours and a large proportion of the world’s websites, as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites.

It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so called “spyware”. Rather than switching off cookies in your browser, you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
