This provision discloses that Walgreens does not honor Do Not Track signals, which is a common industry practice but is distinguished from the policy's separate disclosure that it recognizes opt-out preference signals under California law, creating a distinction between general DNT signals and California-specific GPC signals.
Under this provision, setting a Do Not Track signal in a web browser will not affect data collection or tracking practices on Walgreens.com. California residents who use a browser or platform implementing Global Privacy Control signals may separately benefit from the opt-out preference signal recognition process described elsewhere in the policy.
