Improving your privacy
If you wish to do so you may strengthen your privacy in certain ways:
- Enable the "do not track" setting in your browser. Most browsers offer this setting and it
serves as a
notification to advertisers that you do not wish to be tracked across websites. You must refer
to Google Ads
for their policy with regard to honouring this setting.
- Clear your cookies after each session or set them to expire early. Many browsers have settings
that allow
you to clear or limit the lifetime of cookies.
- Set your browser to disable 3rd party cookies altogether. Note that some functionality in the
site might be
affected by this, such as forum functionality.
-
Install a social media blocking tool in your browser. This will remove the +1s, Likes etc. on
pages that
contain them.
- Install a site blocking tool in your browser. Please note that by doing so you may inadvertantly
deprive
this site of revenue and due prominence in search engines so we kindly ask you to weigh this
choice against
the downsides to us.
