11. 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.
California
law
requires
us
to
let
you
know
how
we
respond
to
web
browser
DNT
signals.
Because
there
currently
is
not
an
industry
or
legal
standard
for
recognizing
or
honoring
DNT
signals,
we
do
not
respond
to
them
at
this
time.
