First party cookies
These cookies are stored directly by the website you are visiting. They allow statistics, analytics data, remember individual options until the next visit, and can save preferred language settings, etc. You can see your own cookie settings for trickntrips.info on this page.
Third-party cookies
External actors like an ad network create these files. Third-party cookies can be stored on your computer but accessed by any website you visit, which results in “ads following you around on the internet.”

You would have expected it to be presented as an option on the front page or an easy slider below the info message, or at least a link to where the choice is located, but no, no help is provided.
It’s buried really deep down in the site structure. I looked through all the main options and pages and couldn’t find it. So chances are many others struggle with this too.
