How Can I Manage Cookies?
You can manage some cookies through the Your Online Choices site or the Network Advertising Initiative site. These services help manage third party advertising cookies, however they are not completely comprehensive.
It is also possible to use your browser settings to manage cookies. You can usually find these settings in the options or preferences menu of your browser. The following links may be helpful, or you can use the “Help” option in your browser.
Please note that if you use your browser to refuse or delete cookies, “opt-out” services may not work as they also use cookies to identify your browser as one that should not be tracked. Finally, the major browser developers have implemented a World Wide Web Consortium draft standard relating to “Do Not Track” settings. As this not a finalized standard, our websites do not recognize the Do Not Track headers.
