Some browsers also allow you to tell websites not to share your information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising. We will respond to these signals in a frictionless manner. If you configure this setting on your browser, certain features on our site may not work, and you will receive less targeted advertising. To learn how to configure this setting, view here.

Selections are browser and device-specific.

Exceptions. In some cases, we may not be able to complete your request because an exception exists under applicable law. For example, opting out does not prevent us from using your personal information for other purposes, such as providing you with our services or products.
