E-mail tracking
We may also use cookies or similar e-mail tracking technologies to monitor the success of e-mail campaigns we operate (for example, recording how many e-mails in a campaign were opened, the IP address, browser or email client types which the emails were read). If you do not want us to track emails we send you, some email services let you change your display to turn off HTML or disable download of images and exercising these rights should effectively disable our email tracking. In addition, you may also unsubscribe from our marketing emails as described in those emails.
Do Not Track
Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Since uniform standards for “Do Not Track” signals have not been adopted, HTC does not currently process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals. To learn more about “Do Not Track,” please visit "
All About Do Not Track
".
In addition to “Do Not Track,” there are many ways that web browser signals and similar mechanisms can indicate your tracking choices, and we may not be aware of nor honor every mechanism.
