French term

limiter le dépôt de cookies

French to English Law/Patents Computers: Systems, Networks Data and cookies policy (on a website)
I understand this - it's about a user's right to refuse or limit cookies

I just need the correct industry word for "dépôt" - filing, placement sound wrong and I am sure there's something better that I am forgetting

Tony M Apr 6, 2020:
@ Asker I think in the jargon, we say "drop a cookie" — but i'm not sure if that would be appropriate for your register here.

limit the placement/placing/storing of cooklies

I see placement or placing most often on sites. I think "setting" could be confusing as we talk about "setting our cookie preferences"

oops, typo: cookies of course! I clicked before I'd finished...

deposit/leave/drop are also used

limit the setting of cookies

I think you'd normally 'set' a cookie in English. We would need to entire phrase to come up with a naturally sounding wording in English, though, not just a fragment.

If this one is only a fragment, I would keep it like my suggestion. I don't agree with Tony's 'drop'. Although it can be found in use, I think it's informal jargon. 'Set' is what the countless cookie policies normally use.
Note from asker:
Thanks Thomas, but this actually is only a fragment - one of the user's options, alongside "refusing" cookies

minimise the use of cookies

Assuming (as you suggested in one of your replies) that this is in a user-facing environment and there would be a range of settings such as:
'authorise the use of all cookies'
'minimise the use of cookies'
'refuse all cookies'.
