Do Not Track
“Do Not Track” is a privacy preference that you can set in your Internet search browser that sends a signal to a website that you do not want the website operator to track certain browsing information about you. However, because our Website is not configured to detect Do Not Track signals from a user’s computer, we currently do not respond to Do Not Track requests. More information about “do not track” is available at www.allaboutdnt.org concerning such information.
