Disabling the option to accept cookies may mean that some of the most important sites cannot be accessed. Therefore, it is important to only accept cookies from sites that you trust.
You can delete cookies at any time by using the "Privacy" option in the Settings category.
Options to prevent the tracking of user online activity are implemented today in various forms; one of the most widespread is the "Do Not Track" mechanism used by most web browsers and search engines. The purpose of the Do Not Track mechanism is "to give the user the opportunity to express personal choices regarding the monitoring of his or her online activities and to communicate these choices to each server or web application with which he or she interacts, thus allowing each service accessed to either adjust its practices according to the user's choices or to reach a separate agreement with the user that is mutually convenient. Note that not all "Do Not Track" functionality blocks cookies.
