9. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that users do not want to have their online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted or honored.
Our current approach to DNT signals:
- Recognition: We recognize and respect DNT signals from your browser
- Essential Cookies: We will still use essential cookies needed for basic website functionality
- Analytics: When DNT is enabled, we disable Google Analytics tracking
- Marketing: We disable marketing and advertising cookies when DNT is detected
- Third-Party Services: We configure third-party services to respect DNT signals where possible
How to Enable DNT: The process varies by browser. Generally, you can find this option in your browser's privacy or security settings under names like "Do Not Track," "Privacy," or "Tracking Protection."
