Should you wish to remove or not use cookies from our site you can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies.  It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so called “spyware”.  Rather than switching off cookies in your browser, you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
