5. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for responding to DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Global Privacy Control is a new specification that allows you to tell websites not to sell or share your personal information. We honor GPC signals where legally required (e.g., under CCPA). Since we do not sell personal information, GPC signals have limited effect on our Service.
