California Do Not Track Disclosures
“Do Not Track” or DNT is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. If you choose to turn on the DNT for the browser you are using, the browser would send a signal to the network, analytics company, plugin providers and other web services companies to stop collecting/tracking your activities.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a DNT feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in an update.
User’s Choice
As a user, you can choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed in order to purchase the products or utilize our 1 on 1 sushi machine consultation.
