While there is no industry standard for these signals, some UMG websites attempt to recognize them and, if detected, limit the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies. Due to browser variations and detection capabilities, and the lack of accepted standards, we cannot guarantee that a “Do-Not-Track” signal will disable cookies and tracking technologies.
