Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can set your browser to warn you before a cookie is placed or to refuse cookies. More information on how to set your browser can be found via the following links:

Currently, some browsers offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option which sends a signal to websites visited indicating a visitor’s tracking preference. Salvus Health does not currently respond to these signals, because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators. The third-party providers Salvus Health uses may or may not do anything in response to this signal.
