Under California law, website and online service operators are required to disclose how they respond to web browser “do not track” signals. Lancome Learning does not currently take actions to respond to “Do Not Track” signals as a uniform standard for such response has not yet been established.
California law requires website and online service operators to disclose whether third parties may collect Personal Information about their users’ online activities over time and across different sites when the users use the operator’s website or service. Third parties that have content or services on our Site such as a social feature, analytics service, or an advertising network partner, may obtain information about your browsing or usage habits but this information does not include personal information. We do not knowingly permit such third parties to collect any Personal Information from our Site unless you directly provide it to us and we provide it to them with your consent.
