Again, Cohen Veterans Bioscience legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We work hard to protect your personal information. We use both technical and procedural methods to maintain the integrity and security of our databases.

When you follow a link and leave our websites, you do so at your own risk.

“Do Not Track” Signals

Do Not Track (DNT) is a preference you can set in some web browsers to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable this feature, Do Not Track (DNT), by visiting the preferences or settings page of your web browser. Web browsers incorporate and activate this functionality in different ways, and user intent is not always clear.

Certain browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari offer a “Do Not Track” or “DNT” option that sends a signal to websites visited by the user about the user’s browser DNT preference setting.

Uniform standards for “Do Not Track” have not been established, Cohen Veterans Bioscience websites and our Service does not process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

There currently is disagreement, including among participants in leading Internet standards-setting organizations, concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals.

Our websites currently do not take action in response to these signals, but, if and when a standard is established and accepted, we may reassess how to respond to these signals.
