How can I disable Global Privacy Control (GPC) in my browser?

1. Click the menu button and select Settings.
2. Select Privacy and security on the left.
3. Go down to the Additional protections section.
4. Click the box next to Tell websites not to sell or share my data to remove the check mark.

I followed your suggestion, but it did not solve the problem. Even after unchecking "tell websites not to sell or share my data," I still got the same message about the need to disable GPC.

Hi

Please can you share a link to the website where this is happening?

Paul, Here is a link to the website where this is happening (and thank you for your interest in solving the problem): https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-03173-1 .

After switching VPN to the United States and turning that option off, this video became available immediately. You need to clear cache of that website with command + shift + R or switch VPN to Europe.

Thank you for your attempts to help. Unfortunately, at age 84 I'm no tech whiz . . . have no idea about VPNs. My system settings tell me that I have no VPNs configured. I believe that I correctly followed your guidance to disable my GPC, but am still unable to play the video. Have resigned myself to living without it. Regardless, thanks again.
