Default Re: Opt-out cookies!!!

It looks like you have to accept a cookie to "opt out" of their marketing and data collection. There's nothing special about the cookie. It's how a site chooses to behave when it detects that cookie. You'll have to trust the member organizations that they'll respect your privacy.
