5.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. While there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, we respect user privacy preferences and minimise tracking by default.
6. Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies:
6.1 Local Storage
We use browser local storage for caching purposes and to store user preferences. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with each request. You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools.
