At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals exists. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your preference not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will update this Privacy Notice.
