Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owner.
We may also use similar tracking technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. Throughout this policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies."

8 Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. At this time, there is no standard industry response to DNT signals. However, we honor consent-based tracking opt-outs through our cookie consent tool, which provides equivalent or greater privacy control than DNT.
