Most web browsers auto­mat­i­cal­ly accept cook­ies, but you can usu­al­ly mod­i­fy your brows­er set­ting to decline cook­ies if you pre­fer. If you choose to decline cook­ies, you may not be able to ful­ly expe­ri­ence the inter­ac­tive fea­tures of San Diego Foun­da­tion ser­vices or web­sites you vis­it.
