How we respond to Do Not Track Signals
Because we track visitors' activities over time, we respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals sent to us from our visitors' browsers. However, we do not allow third parties to track such activities. Visitors can opt out of behavioral tracking on this Site by declining the cookie statement presented to a visitor upon their first visit. The use of cookies and behavioral tracking is deactivated when a visitor chooses to decline the cookie statement. As tracking your activities and preferences may help us provide you with higher quality experience, such experience may be downgraded if we receive a DNT signal from your browser. Personally identifiable information may be collected from you when we receive a DNT signal from your browser. We use this information to store information about your preferences and improve the Site.
