F. HOW DO WE RESPOND TO “DO NOT TRACK” REQUESTS?

Certain web browsers may provide an option by which you may have the browser inform websites or internet service you visit that you do not wish to have personally identifiable information about your activities tracked by cookies or other persistent identifiers over time and across third-party websites, on-line or cloud computing services, only applications or mobile applications. These are commonly called “Do-Not-Track” signals. Our website does not currently honor Do-Not-Track signals from internet browsers. However, when a universal standard for processing Do-Not-Track signals emerges, we may update this policy accordingly.
