Sourcegraph does not honor browser-level Do Not Track settings, meaning tracking may continue even if your browser is configured to request no tracking.

This provision discloses that browser-based privacy signals intended to limit tracking are not acted upon by Sourcegraph, which is relevant for users relying on browser settings as a privacy control.
Interpretive note: The policy addresses Do Not Track but does not clarify treatment of Global Privacy Control signals, creating uncertainty about CPRA compliance for California users.
Even if your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, Sourcegraph states it does not respond to these signals, meaning cookies, analytics tracking, and behavioral data collection will continue regardless of this browser preference.

"Although we do our best to honor the privacy preferences of our users, we are not able to respond to Do Not Track signals from your browser at this time.— Excerpt from Sourcegraph Cody's Sourcegraph Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by CPRA requires businesses to treat Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as opt-out of sale or sharing of personal information. The policy's statement regarding Do Not Track non-response should be evaluated in the context of whether Sourcegraph also addresses GPC compliance for California users. The FTC has also addressed browser-based privacy signals in consumer protection guidance. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The non-response to Do Not Track is a disclosed limitation, but the policy does not address Global Privacy Control compliance, which is legally required for California businesses under CPRA. This omission may create compliance exposure for California operations. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have a legally enforceable right under CPRA to have GPC signals treated as opt-out of sharing. The policy's disclosure regarding Do Not Track does not clarify whether GPC signals receive different treatment. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: This provision does not create direct vendor or contract implications, but organizations deploying Sourcegraph for California-based employees should confirm whether GPC compliance is implemented at the platform level. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams with California user populations should request clarification from Sourcegraph on whether the platform honors GPC signals as required under CPRA, and should document the response for compliance records.
