  • Pixel Tags: Small images that may be used in emails or on our Website to track user engagement.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that lets you tell websites you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but we will continue to monitor developments in this area.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any changes.
