# How to change cookie categories to opt-in or opt-out


## Steps to take to change cookie categories to be opt-in or opt-out

By default, each jurisdiction with regulatory settings in place is also configured with opt-in and opt-out cookie settings. For any reason, if you need to make modifications to Clym's default settings, you can easily manage a jurisdiction at any time.

Changing cookie categories to be opt-in or opt-out is an easy 3-step process:

* [Sign in to your Clym Control Center](#4-1-sign-in-to-your-clym-portal)
* [Access the Manage tab](#4-2-open-your-website-settings)
* [Change the category to opt-in/opt-out](#4-3-change-the-category-to-opt-inopt-out)

#### 1. Sign in to your Clym Control Center

You should have received a magic link in your initial onboarding email. Please click **Sign in** from the email to get started. Alternatively, navigate to [Clym's home page](https://clym.io) and click **Sign in** in the upper right-hand corner.
