How to turn off DU notifications?

My account page does not show anything about DU notifications, which I recently enabled. I want to turn them off. How?

Thanks

p.s. I just enabled notifications this morning, by clicking on a button DU showed for the first time. As soon as I did so, webpages from other sites became overrun with ads and pages load much slower. It seems enabling DU notifications opened the floodgates for ads on any page I load??? The timing is suspicious.

For example, if you use microsoft edge, you go under:

settings ->cookies and sites permissions -> notifications
and can select ask me first, turn it off or even customize it per website.

Similar settings can be found in the other browsers.
