6. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals websites you don't want to be tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals. Postrr does not respond to DNT signals, but we minimize tracking as described in this policy.

Local storage data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly save content.

8. Mobile Applications

If we release mobile applications in the future, they may use similar technologies (device identifiers, local storage) for the same purposes described in this policy.

9. International Users

If you're accessing Postrr from outside the United States, please note that cookies may be transferred to and processed in the US and other countries where our service providers operate.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
