11. HOW “DO NOT TRACK” REQUESTS ARE HANDLED
Various browsers (including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and

DNT header, which sends a signal to websites visited by the
browser user about the user's DNT preference. You can usually
access your browser's DNT option in your browser's preferences.
We currently do not support “Do Not Track” requests because no DNT
standard has been adopted.
Our third-party services may collect information about you and
your online activities over time and across our Services and other
online properties. These third parties may not change their
tracking practices in response to DNT settings in your web
browser, and we do not obligate these parties to honor DNT
settings. To determine whether any of the third-party services
honor the “Do Not Track” requests, please read their privacy
policies.
