Do Not Track Signals

Many browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that allows users to express a preference not to have their online activities tracked. Currently, Cafe Appliances does not respond to DNT signals due to the lack of a uniform industry standard for compliance.

We encourage you to review your browser’s privacy settings and the [Cookie Policy](/cookie-policy/) to understand how you can manage tracking technologies on your device.
