Cookies that are not strictly necessary, which here means advertising and measurement cookies, are only set if you agree to them. When you first visit the site you are asked to choose, and nothing non-essential is set until you do. Rejecting is a single click, exactly like accepting.

You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page. Choosing to reject stops the relevant scripts from loading on subsequent pages. Cookies already set by a previous choice can be cleared through your browser settings.

Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage, on your own device, so that we do not have to ask again on every page. It is not sent to us and is not used to identify you.
