Most web browsers, along with some mobile operating systems and applications, include a Do-Not-Track (DNT) feature. This setting allows you to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected.
Currently, there is no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. As a result, we do not respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted in the future, we will inform you about it in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.
California law requires us to inform you how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Since there is no industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals at this time, we do not respond to them.
