Even if your browser is set to send a 'Do Not Track' signal asking websites not to follow you around the internet, Twitch ignores this setting and continues to track you across websites and devices.
Your cross-site browsing activity and device usage can be tracked by Twitch and its advertising and analytics partners regardless of your browser's Do Not Track preference, enabling the construction of detailed behavioral profiles used for targeted advertising.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Several U.S. state privacy laws now create opt-out rights for targeted advertising that effectively supersede voluntary DNT compliance: Colorado CPA (C.R.S. §6-1-1306), Connecticut CTDPA (§42-515k), California CPRA (§1798.135 — Global Privacy Control compliance required for CA residents), Virginia CDPA, and Texas TDPSA. The California AG has issued guidance that Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals must be honored as a valid opt-out under CPRA, which is distinct from but related to DNT. FTC Act Section 5 applies to deceptive privacy representations. Enforced by state AGs and the California Privacy Protection Agency.
