How can I block or allow cookies?

Privacy protection measures

Each user can configure his or her device to allow or block cookies by default, or to get a warning every time the computer is trying to store or delete a cookie. Instructions to do so can be found at the security configuration settings page of your browser.

To follow a step by step tutorial on how to completely disable cookies for several commonly used browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari or Opera), follow this link: disabling cookies in different browsers

You can block cookies for any site in most browsers. However, some features of our site could work properly.

Most browsers have an "incognito" (Chrome), "InPrivate" (Edge and Explorer) or "private" (Safari, Firefox, Opera) mode. Using this mode, all cookies will be deleted after you close the browser, so your information can't be tracked from one session to other. Using this mode, every browsing session all user's cookies will be set as new by the sites visited, making the user appear to websites as a completely new user, and reducing the total information that cookies can store about a especific user. That's why in private mode browsing you see "accept cookies" and other similar messages from sites you previously accepted or denied

 

How can I modify or revoke my previous consent?

When a user has previously provided an explicit cookie usage consent, the message requesting consent is not displayed anymore. If he or she wants to revoke or modify that consent, in order to get the cookie consent message displayed again, the user must remove cookies associated with our domain freestoriesforkids.com, preferently, or at least the cookie named FCCDCF. This way the options to manage the ookie consent will be displayed next time the user browses our site.
