An IP address is a unique identifier that devices use to identify and communicate with each other on the Internet.In many cases, the information we collect using cookies and other tools is used in non-identifiable ways, without any reference to Personal Information. For example, we use information we collect about users of the Website and/or any such capability, software or service to optimize same and understand its usage patterns.

At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized.

If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
