Do Not Track (DNT) Signals
Our DNT Policy
We do NOT currently honor Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals.
Why?
- DNT is a browser header, not a technical standard that websites must follow
- Most major websites, including Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, do not honor DNT
- Industry consensus on DNT implementation remains unclear
What this means:
- If you enable DNT in your browser, we will still set tracking cookies
- Third-party vendors (Google, Facebook, etc.) will continue tracking your behavior
- You can still opt out of specific tracking by using the methods above
Vendor-Specific DNT Policies:
- Google Analytics: Does not honor DNT
- Facebook: Does not honor DNT
- HotJar: May honor DNT for analytics but not all features
- LeadFeeder: Does not honor DNT
- ZoomInfo: Does not honor DNT
- Reddit Ads: Does not honor DNT
- InspectLet: Does not honor DNT
- Wingify: Does not honor DNT
To control tracking, use the cookie management tools listed in Section 3 above.
