However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access parts of the Site.

6. Additional information
The UK Information Commissioner's Office provides the following guidance on controlling cookies:
- a number of websites provide detailed information on cookies, including AboutCookies.org and AllAboutCookies.org;
- the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website Your Online Choices allows you to install opt-out cookies across different advertising networks;
- Google has developed a browser add-on to allow users to opt-out of Google Analytics across all websites which use it;
- some browsers include a feature known as 'Do Not Track' or DNT. This allows you to indicate a preference that websites should not track you. However, whilst DNT is available in many browsers, websites are not required to recognise its request, so it may not always work (see section 8 for our approach to DNT). You can get help on how to use DNT in Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera; and
- for more information on how private browsing works as well as its limitations, visit the support pages for your browser: Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari (iOS (mobile) and desktop).
7. Additional steps you can take to protect your privacy online
If you are concerned about online tracking then we can recommend you to:
- set your browser settings to delete all cookies every time you close your browser;
- consider adopting Global Privacy Control;
- install a privacy-friendly browser on your device, such as Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Brave;
- install anti-tracking and ad-blocking plug-ins on that browser, such as Ad Block Plus, Ghostery or PrivacyBadger;
- use privacy-friendly web search engines, such as Ecosia or DuckDuckGo;
- opt out of targeted advertising by Google and Bing; and
- learn more about targeting advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s educational page.
8. Do Not Track
Please note that because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, Fluidstack does not alter its data collection and usage practices when it detects such a signal from your browser.
