Options for enabling/disabling the use of cookies for most popular browsers are listed below:

As a rule, the browsers used today offer: A) the “do not track” option, which is supported by some websites (but not all): in this way, these websites are no longer able to collect certain navigation data; b) the option of anonymous surfing or incognito mode: in this way, data will not be collected in the browser and browsing history will not be saved, but the navigation data may still be acquired by the operator of the visited website; c) the deletion of cookies stored in whole or in part, but after visiting a web site again they are usually installed, where such possibility is not blocked.
