Thank you for your request. The Office for National Statistics does not collect browser level information about users’ cookie settings.
The only indicator we have is the number of Returning Visitors but this is quite low. The number of New Visitors will be made up of users with their cookies turned off and genuine New Visitors who accept cookies. I’ve attached a chart of New versus Returning visitors and a month by month breakdown.
