You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through our Cookie Consent Manager or by setting your browser preferences.

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Our platform currently does not respond to DNT signals due to lack of industry-wide standards for how to interpret them.
