‘Do Not Track’ notifications
Some browsers allow you to automatically notify websites you visit not to track you using a ‘Do Not Track’ signal. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what ‘Do Not Track’ means in this context. Like many websites and online services, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a ‘Do Not Track’ signal from a visitor’s browser.
