6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. At present there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Kaldo Letters does not currently alter its data-collection behaviour in response to DNT browser settings, but our analytical tracking is anonymised and aggregated regardless.
