It is a browser cookie-based tool that may allow you to modify settings related to certain Functional or Advertising cookies and related technologies. It is not possible to modify settings to operationally Required cookies and related technologies. The tool works by communicating the selected setting to third party companies to initiate a third party's opt-in/opt-out mechanism, if available. The effect of such selection may be described in the third party's cookie and/or privacy statements. If the tool is unable to integrate with a third party this will be noted in the Detailed Settings description within the tool with information about such third party. The Detailed Settings descriptions will also provide information about cookies used on our online offering.
The tool will only work on the Internet browser you use to make your choice and it will only function properly if your browser is set to accept third-party browser cookies. If you delete cookies, change browsers, computers or operating systems, you will need to make a new selection.
