Managing cookies and other tracking technologies:
Relevant browser-based cookie controls are described in our Cookie Notice. Our Services participate in the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) and Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) programs to opt-out of customized or targeted advertising online. If you sign up for either of these programs, you will not see targeted ads from us on other websites based on your browsing history or other online activities.
Global Privacy Control.
Some browsers and browser extensions support the “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) or similar controls that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt out from certain types of data processing, such as targeted advertising. Where we feasibly can, we respect your GPC settings choices on our website.
Do Not Track.
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that can send a signal to the websites you visit, indicating you do not wish to be tracked. There is no standard for how a website should interpret the DNT signal. Because there is no standard, our websites do not respond to browser DNT signals. Instead of relying on DNT settings, please use the other tools we describe here to control how we collect and use your data, such as the GPC and cookie controls.
