2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies:

6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, so we do not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can use the cookie management options described above to control tracking.
