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

include
a Do-Not-Track (
'DNT'
) feature
or
setting you can
activate to
signal

finalised
. As such,
we
do not currently
respond to DNT
browser signals
or
any other

communicates
your
choice not to be

adopted
that we must
follow
in the future,
we
will inform you
about that
practice
in a revised
version
of this Privacy
