3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have full statutory control over non-essential cookies (such as Analytics). You can modify or withdraw your consent at any time. Under the UK GDPR, withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it.
Additionally, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. Please note that strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled, as they are fundamental to portal security, session integrity, and billing authentication.
