4. Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms
If you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use.Some internet browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the “Do Not Track” signal, the Site does not currently interpret, respond to or alter its practices when it receives “Do Not Track” signals.
