    Click on AdChoices in the footer and scroll through the list.  On a positive note, it's GDPR compliant.

    Oh good grief, why would I want any of that rubbish - turned everything off. Anymore devious snooping I should be aware of?

    Thanks Ben, I've opted out of everyting I could find. What a *!*!* liberty! I really detest this kind of underhand 'spying'.
