Moreover, you can revoke or give again your consent at any time through the clearly marked controls at the bottom of every page of our site. If you revoke your consent only the cookies marked as Mandatory above will be sent to your browser.
Please note that revoking consent does NOT remove third party cookies from your web browser since there is no technical means to do so (third party cookies are managed by third party sites; as such, Dionysopoulos.me has no control over their expiration and presence on your web server). Please remember to delete such cookies manually.

All major browsers let you either reject cookies by default or ask you if you want to accept cookies.

Moreover, we strongly recommend that you turn on the Do Not Track feature on your browser. For more information please refer to the documentation of your web browser.
Not all third party services honor the Do Not Track feature and not all browsers offer this feature. We strongly recommend using a third party cookie blocker on your browser such as EFF's Privacy Badger. On top of that, we recommend using a browser with strong privacy protections built in, such as Mozilla Firefox with its Containers extension.
