Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile

or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to
have data about your online browsing activities monitored and
collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals
has been finalized. As such, we do not
currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that
automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If
a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the
future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version
of this Privacy Notice.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web
browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or
legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond
to them at this time.
