Notice to California Residents

Do Not Track

California Law requires that we disclose how we respond to a “Do not track” signal. Some browsers give individuals the ability to communicate that they wish not to be tracked while browsing the Internet. The “Do Not Track” feature of these browsers sends a signal that informs operators of services online that they do not want certain information about their online activities to be collected over time and across websites or online services.

However, the Internet industry has not yet agreed on a definition of what “Do Not Track” means, how compliance with “Do Not Track” wolid be measured or evaluated, or a common approach to responding to a “Do Not Track” signal. Consequently, due to the lack of guidance, we have not yet developed features that wolid recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals. In the meantime, we suggest that you consider using the opt-out features provided by Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance by visiting the following websites:

• Network Advertising Initiative (http://www.networkadvertising.org/)
