Do Not Track (California residents only)
Do not Track (’DNT’) is a setting provided by your browser (depending on the browser used) that you can activate in your browser's settings to let websites know that you do not want them collecting certain information about you. Unfortunately, we do not currently have the technology to respond to DNT signals. As a result, we do not afford different treatment to California residents whose browsers send a DNT signal as opposed to those without this setting.

We may change the Website in the future and as a consequence will need to revise this Privacy Policy to reflect those changes. We will post the revised Privacy Policy on the Website with an ’effective date’ that indicates when the revised Privacy Policy will take effect. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
