CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and

finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other
mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.
If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future,
we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy
notice.
