For general information about cookies, you can visit websites like allaboutcookies.org

I use cookies for several purposes, mainly to improve your experience while using this Website.  Cookies help remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and ensure that the Website functions properly.  In most cases, disabling cookies will affect how the site functions or prevent certain features from working correctly.

In some cases, third-party cookies may be placed on your device by embedded content such as YouTube videos, social media posts, or external tools.  These cookies are controlled by the respective third parties, and I do not have access to or control over them.  It is recommended to review the privacy or cookie policies of those third-party services.

You can prevent cookies from being set by adjusting your browser settings. Each browser has its own instructions on how to block or delete cookies.

You may also choose to use your browser’s private or incognito mode to prevent cookies from being stored after your browsing session ends. This can be a good option if you prefer not to keep history or local data. However, some websites may still set temporary session cookies that are deleted once you close your browser window.

Additionally, several browser extensions and privacy tools are available that allow you to block specific types of cookies such as tracking or advertising cookies while keeping necessary ones active. Mobile browsers and apps often include their own privacy controls as well, allowing you to manage cookies directly from your device’s settings.
