7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. How browsers communicate the DNT signal is not yet uniform, and there is no standard for how websites should respond to these signals. Currently, our website does not respond to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and may implement such standards in the future.
