Your Choices
You may choose not to provide the personal information we request. However, not providing information we request may restrict your ability to use certain features on our Website. For example, you may be able to restrict the collection of personal information or functionality through your device’s operating system, your browser, or by disabling cookies, but doing so may prevent you from using the functionality of the Website.

Some Internet browsers have a “do-not-track” feature that lets you tell the Website that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. The Website does not currently respond to browser “do-not-track” signals. You may be able to restrict the collection of personal information or functionality through your device’s operating system or by disabling cookies. To change your web browser settings for cookies, you can follow the instructions in the help section of your web browser or visit https://allaboutcookies.org/.

Please note that any opt-out choice you exercise through these programs will apply to interest-based advertising that your opt-out addresses, but will still allow the collection of data for other purposes, including research, analytics, and internal operations. You also may continue to receive advertising, but that advertising may be less relevant to your interests.
