Small notes in your browser
Cookies, like local storage entries, are little notes a site leaves inside your browser. Here exactly one is essential, and the rest sit idle until you permit them.

Revisiting the decision
Press here or in any footer, set the switches and save. Wiping stored site data from the browser undoes the decision too, so the bar returns the next time a page loads.
The GPC signal
Browsers that transmit Global Privacy Control get this treatment: advertising and affiliate cookies remain disabled here automatically, no matter how the switch is set.
