Cookie Information
Without consent to a category, its Google tags are not loaded and no measurement requests for that category are sent. Changing an active selection reloads the page to terminate loaded tags. On withdrawal we remove accessible first-party cookies for the deselected category; We cannot delete cookies on Google/DoubleClick domains ourselves; you can remove them in your browser. Deselecting the category blocks its tags and measurement requests even if a third-party-domain cookie remains. Your light/dark preference is saved only when you change the display yourself.
