Direct Marketing and “Do Not Track” Signals
The Company does not track its customers over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your browser may include controls to block and delete cookies to allow you to opt out of data collection through those technologies. The Company does not disclose any personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
