3. How to decline cookies
The cookie banner that appears on your first visit lets you decline analytics cookies. You can also block cookies entirely in your browser settings; this will not affect your ability to read the site, but the cookie banner will reappear on each visit if your browser does not retain its own ‘don’t show this again’ preference.
