Please note that doing so may negatively impact your experience using the Service, as some features and services on our Service may not work properly. Depending on how you access our Service, you may not be able to delete or block all cookies. You may also set your e-mail options to prevent the automatic downloading of images that may contain technologies that would allow us to know whether you have accessed our e-mail and performed certain functions with it.
