CONTROLS
FOR
DO-NOT-TRACK
FEATURES
Most
web
browsers
and
some
mobile
operating
systems
and
mobile
applications
include
a
Do-Not-Track
(
"DNT"
)
feature
or
setting
you
can
activate
to
signal
your
privacy
preference
not
to
have
data
about
your
online
browsing
activities
monitored
and
collected.
At
this
stage
no
uniform
technology
standard
for
recognizing
and
implementing
DNT
signals
has
been
finalized
.
As
such,
we
do
not
currently
respond
to
DNT
browser
signals
or
any
other
mechanism
that
automatically
communicates
your
choice
not
to
be
tracked
online.
If
a
standard
for
online
tracking
is
adopted
that
we
must
follow
in
the
future,
we
will
inform
you
about
that
practice
in
a
revised
version
of
this
privacy
notice.
