How Do We Treat Do Not Track (DNT)
Signals Various browsers allow a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that relies on a technology known as the DNT header, which sends a signal to the websites visited by an individual about their browser DNT setting. Currently, there is no universal consensus on how companies like GEM should interpret the Do Not Track signal. As a result, GEM currently does not commit to responding to DNT signals, regardless of whether the signal is received on a computer or a mobile device. However, GEM does offer meaningful choices about the collection of information via cookies and web beacons through the various opt-out options listed above. We continue to monitor the development of DNT browser technology and the implementation of standards.
