Global Privacy Controls. Global Privacy Control ("GPC") is a special browser setting that helps user's exercise their rights or share privacy preferences. The GPC sends signals such as not to share or sell personal data without their consent. You can download the GPC browser extension here.
Do Not Track Signals. CalOPPA requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track ("DNT") signals. DNT is a privacy preference you can set in your web browser to indicate that you do not want certain information about your webpage visits collected across websites when you have not interacted with that service on the page. For details, including how to turn on DNT, see here. Because there currently isn’t an industry or legal standard recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we don’t respond to them at this time.
