8. Do Not Track Signals

"Do Not Track" (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user enables DNT, their browser sends a signal to websites requesting that the user's browsing behavior not be tracked.

Currently, there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our Platform does not currently respond to DNT signals in a different manner. However, you can use the cookie management options described above to control tracking on our Platform.

We will update this policy if we change how we respond to DNT signals in the future.
