5. Your choices
The cookie bar is the first control, and it is a real one. This site sets Google Consent Mode v2 to denied before any Google tag loads, so the analytics and advertising cookies listed in Sections 2 and 3 are only set once you press Accept. Decline keeps them denied and deletes any that an earlier visit left behind. Use the Cookie settings link in the footer to change your choice at any time.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and block third-party cookies entirely. Most browsers let you do this under Settings → Privacy.
To opt out of personalised Google advertising, visit Google Ads Settings and optout.aboutads.info.
