9. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug-in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity.
Our Response to Do Not Track:
Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how companies should respond to DNT signals. We are committed to respecting your privacy preferences and are monitoring the development of DNT standards. In the meantime:
- We honor the cookie preferences you set in our consent tool
- You can opt out of analytics and marketing cookies

- We will update this policy as DNT standards evolve
How to Enable Do Not Track:

- Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Send websites a "Do Not Track" signal
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Website tracking → Prevent cross-site tracking
