Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several ways to control cookies:
- Cookie consent banner: When you first visit, our banner lets you accept all cookies or reject advertising cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the
doa_consentcookie in your browser. - Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via Settings → Privacy. Note that blocking Cloudflare security cookies may impact site functionality.
- Google Ad Settings: Opt out of personalised Google ads at adssettings.google.com
- NAI opt-out: Opt out of interest-based advertising from multiple networks at optout.networkadvertising.org
If you reject advertising cookies, you will still see ads but they will be non-personalised. All 50 tools continue to function normally regardless of your cookie choice.
