Do Not Track
While Paramount Global attempts to honor do not track (“DNT”) instructions we receive from a user’s browser, we cannot guarantee that Paramount Global will always respond to such signals, in part, because of the lack of common industry standard for DNT technology. We continue to monitor developments in DNT technology and stay apprised of DNT industry standards as they evolve.
