Do Not Track Response
Certain web browsers may allow you to enable a “do not track” option that sends signals to the websites you visit indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different from blocking cookies as browsers with the “do not track” option selected may still accept cookies. Right now, there is no industry standard for how companies should respond to “do not track” signals, although one may be adopted in the future. We do not respond to “do not track” signals at this time. If we do so in the future, we will modify this Cookie Policy accordingly. More information about “do not track” is available at http://www.allaboutdnt.org
We may change this Cookie Policy at any time. Please take a look at the date at the top of this page to see when this Cookie Policy was last updated. Any changes in this Cookie Policy will become effective when we make the revised Cookie Policy available on the Service.
We hope that this policy helps you understand our use of cookies. If you have any further queries, or want to send us suggestions, please contact us at privacy@ifdaq.com and be sure to include Cookie Policy in the subject line.
We invite you to read our Privacy Policy for full details of how we process your personal data.
