9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals websites that users don't want to be tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.

Our current approach to DNT signals:

• We recognize and respect your browser's DNT setting
• When DNT is enabled, we limit our use of analytics and marketing cookies
• Essential cookies for website functionality will still be used
• We may update our DNT response as industry standards develop

To enable DNT in your browser:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data > Send a "Do not track" request
• Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Send websites a "Do Not Track" signal
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Ask websites not to track me
