California “Do Not Track” Disclosures
We do not track the users of the Site over time or across third party websites and therefore the Site 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, go to your browser to determine if it allows you to set the DNT signal on your browser so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked.
Cookies
We do not use cookies on our Site.
