Browser-specific guidance is available from the providers below:
If you wish to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics across all websites, Google provides a browser add-on for this purpose: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on ↗.
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. There is currently no agreed technical standard for responding to DNT signals. At present, Davenolt Gazette does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals; however, the consent-based framework described in this policy continues to apply regardless of DNT status.
