Opt Out Controls for Advertising: : We understand that not everyone wants to receive behaviorally targeted advertising. Here are a few sites you can visit to learn how to opt out from receiving this kind of advertising: (Note that opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads, it just means those ads won’t be behaviorally targeted and while we will still collect information about you, we cannot use that information for the purpose of behaviorally targeted advertising.)

Online tracking

Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature. When you turn this feature on, it sends a signal or a preference to the sites you visit indicating that you do not want to be tracked. There is not yet a uniform understanding of how to interpret this signal so our sites do not currently respond to a Do Not Track setting in your browser. This means that we will continue to collect, use and share information about you as described in this Privacy Policy even though you have turned on a Do Not Track feature.

These other sites are not governed by our Privacy Policy and we are not responsible for their information collection practices.
