Browsers used to access the internet have integrated facilities for setting the information security level, including the possibility of accepting cookies. To use the facilities for setting the level of acceptance of cookies, it is usually necessary to access the “Options” section in the browser and the “Settings” category. Disabling the option to accept cookies may result in the inability to access some of the most important sites. Therefore, it is important to accept only cookies from trusted sites. At any time, you can delete cookies using the “Privacy” option in the “Settings” category.


Options to prevent online activity tracking are implemented today in various forms; one of the most widespread is the “Do Not Track” mechanism used by most internet browsers and search engines. The purpose of the “Do Not Track” mechanism is to provide users with the option to express their personal preferences regarding the tracking of their online activities and to communicate these preferences to each server or web application they interact with, allowing each accessed service either to adjust its practices according to the user’s preferences or to reach a separate agreement with the user that is convenient for both parties. It is worth noting that not all “Do Not Track” functionalities block cookies.
