6.5 Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Do Not Track (DNT): Some browsers include a 'Do Not Track' feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Our Platform does not currently respond to DNT signals because there is no industry-wide standard for how to interpret and respond to these signals.

Global Privacy Control (GPC): We recognize and honor Global Privacy Control signals as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information under applicable US state privacy laws (CCPA, Virginia CDPA, Colorado CPA, Connecticut CTDPA, Utah UCPA). To enable GPC, install a browser extension or use a privacy-focused browser that supports GPC. Learn more at globalprivacycontrol.org.
