Other California Disclosures
How We Respond To Do-Not-Track Signals & Global Privacy Controls: A “do-not-track” signal is a privacy preference feature in some web browsers that tells a website that a user does not want their online activity to be tracked. We currently support Global Privacy Control (GPC), a specification designed to allow internet users to notify businesses of their privacy preferences, such as whether or not they want to be tracked or have their personal information sold or shared with third parties for targeted advertising. It consists of a setting or extension in the user’s browser or mobile device and acts as a mechanism that our websites can use to honor your privacy settings. GPC is available for an increasing number of browsers and browser extensions, click here to view the options. If you want to use GPC, you can download and enable it via a participating browser or browser extension. More information about downloading GPC can be found by clicking here. If your browser or device has GPC enabled, it will override your preferences selected in the cookie banner or privacy settings on this Site.
California Shine the Light Disclosures: California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits visitors to our Sites and users of our Services who are California residents to request, once a year, certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
