We recognize the opt-out preference signals that we are required to recognize for compliance with applicable law. Where required by U.S. Privacy Laws, we treat the opt-out preference signals we are required to comply with as a valid request to opt-out of sale, sharing, and processing for purposes of targeted advertising, as applicable, for the browser or device through which the signal is sent and any consumer profile we have associated with that browser or device, including pseudonymous profiles. Further, if we know the identity of the consumer from the opt-out preference signal, we will also treat the opt-out preference signal as a valid request to opt out of sale and sharing for such consumer. Consumers may use opt-out preference signals by downloading or otherwise activating them for use on supported browsers and setting them to send opt-out preference signals to websites they visit. Please note, however, that our sites are not currently configured to recognize the “Do Not Track” signal.

This section does not apply to California or Utah residents, or to residents who reside in other states where the applicable U.S. Privacy Law does not give them the right to appeal controllers’ decisions regarding data subject rights.
