Is there a way to turn Advanced Data Protection OFF on my account from a web browser?

I have not had access to my iPhone devices in a couple years now, and after they had been broken or lost, etc..the devices were removed from my apple account. However I had Advanced Data Protection turned on on my most recent device. I have absolutely no way of getting that device back, it broke and was sold to an ecoATM after being removed from my icloud and erased . Now when I log into my icloud on a web browser, I cannot access any of my data unless I grant permission from my device to access on the Web. Well, no device...no notification...no permission, no data......

Is there possibly a way to turn Advanced Data Protection OFF on my account from a web browser? If not, how am I supposed to be able to get anything back, if I am unable to get another iPhone at the moment?
