Control through browsers: commonly used browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari) accept cookies as a default setup, however such setup can be modified by the user at any time. This also applies to PCs and mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones: it is a generally and diffusely supported function. It is therefore easy to deactivate or disable cookies by accessing the options or preferences of the used browser and it is also generally possible to only block third party cookies; as a rule such options are only effective for that browser or device unless options are active for unifying the preferences on different devices. Specific instructions can be found in the options or the help page of such browser. Disabling technical cookies, however, can affect the full and/or correct function of various websites, including this website.
The browsers used today normally:
- offer the “Do not track” option which is supported by some websites (but not all). In this mode some websites can no longer collect certain navigation data;
- offer the option of anonymous or incognito navigation: in this mode data shall not be collected in the browser and the navigation history shall not be saved, however the operator of the visited website shall be able to acquire the navigation data in any case;
- allow stored cookies to be fully or partly deleted, however they are usually installed on the next visit to a website if such possibility has not been blocked.
