6. Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies:

- Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when you close your browser tab.
- Pixels/Beacons: Small images used to track when content has been viewed (primarily for email open tracking).
These technologies are subject to the same controls and consent requirements as cookies.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.
Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can use the cookie management options described above to control tracking.
