An opt-out preference signal is a signal that is sent by a platform, technology, or mechanism on your behalf that communicates your choice to opt-out of the sharing for targeted advertisements or sale of your Personal Information. We treat user-enabled opt-out preference signals (which may also be considered do not track preferences if technically compatible, such as Global Privacy Control), such as a browser plug-in or privacy setting, device setting, or other mechanism, that communicate or signal your choice to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information as a valid opt-out request. You can learn more about implementing opt-out preference signals by visiting the Global Privacy Control website here or by exploring other developing technologies and services that offer this tool.

Tracking Technologies and Targeted Advertising
