The explicit non-response to Do Not Track signals is a disclosed operational practice; compliance teams in California should evaluate this against CPRA's requirements regarding user preference signals, noting that CPRA requires honoring opt-out preference signals under regulations that may apply to this context.
Interpretive note: The extent to which Do Not Track non-response conflicts with CPRA global privacy control requirements depends on evolving California Privacy Protection Agency regulatory guidance and enforcement interpretation.
Under this clause, browsing activity including IP address and clickstream behavior is collected through cookies and web technologies; the statement discloses that Do Not Track browser signals are not recognized, which is relevant to users relying on browser-level privacy controls.

"We use cookies, embedded web links, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect standard information your browser sends, including browser type, IP address, and clickstream behavior, in order to improve usability, performance, and content relevance. Our websites do not currently recognize or respond to 'Do Not Track' signals from browsers. If this changes, we will update this Privacy Statement accordingly.Excerpt from Glean's Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implicates CCPA/CPRA (including California Privacy Protection Agency regulations on universal opt-out mechanisms), the EU ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Directive) as applied in EU member states, and FTC guidance on online behavioral tracking. CPRA regulations require businesses to honor opt-out preference signals transmitted through user-enabled global privacy controls, which may include browser-based signals depending on regulatory interpretation. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The non-response to Do Not Track signals is a disclosed practice, but its alignment with emerging CPRA universal opt-out signal requirements may warrant legal review, particularly as California's enforcement posture on global privacy controls develops. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have the most direct statutory exposure given CPRA's global privacy control provisions. EU and UK users are protected by ePrivacy Directive implementations requiring consent for non-essential cookies, which should be assessed against Glean's cookie practices separately from this statement. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Third-party widget providers whose cookies operate on Glean's sites are disclosed as subject to their own privacy policies rather than this statement, which limits Glean's contractual responsibility for those data flows but may require assessment by enterprise customers. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should assess whether Glean's cookie practices, including third-party analytics and advertising vendor cookies, are covered by a cookie consent management platform that meets applicable ePrivacy and CPRA requirements, and whether the Do Not Track non-response position is consistent with CPRA global privacy control obligations.
