“DO NOT TRACK” SIGNALS

Some web browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” signals to websites with which the browser communicates, telling the website not to follow its online movements. Because of differences in how web browsers interpret this feature and send those signals, and lack of standardization, it is not always clear whether visitors and users intend for these signals to be transmitted or whether they are even aware of them. Therefore, as many other reputable websites and online platforms, we currently do not respond to such “Do Not Track” signals.

If you have any further questions about the use of Cookies in our Services, please email support@aligntoday.com. For more information about our general privacy practices, please visit our Privacy Policy.
