How We Respond to Browser "Do Not Track" Signals

Some web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. California law requires that website operators disclose how they respond to a Do Not Track signal and whether other third parties may collect personally identifiable information about an individual's online activities from their site or service.

We currently do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals. As the technology and communication between browser and website improves, we may make changes to our policy. Please refer to the sections titled "Personal Information We Collect Directly" and "Personal Information We Collect Indirectly" for additional information.

The birthday discount code is provided via email to the email address provided by the consumer upon the consumer's birthday. Consumers may opt out of this financial incentive at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link included in the footer of our emails.

The information Squareknot has collected through this financial incentive enables Squareknot to establish a relationship with its customers and is valued by Squareknot to provide its customers with a customized offer each year.
