Cookie Consent
Where required by applicable law, we request permission before using nonessential analytics, functional, advertising, or targeting cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent because they are required to provide requested website functions.
Your consent choices may be stored in a cookie so the website can remember them during future visits.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your choices through the Cookie Settings option available in the website’s cookie banner or footer.
You may:
- Accept all optional cookies
- Reject nonessential cookies
- Select permitted cookie categories
- Change or withdraw previous consent
Withdrawing consent does not affect cookie processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to:
- View stored cookies
- Delete cookies
- Block all cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Receive a warning before cookies are stored
- Use private or incognito browsing
Browser settings vary. Review your browser’s help or privacy settings for instructions.
Deleting cookies may also remove saved login sessions, cart contents, website preferences, and cookie-consent choices.
Opt-Out Preference Signals
Where required by applicable law and supported by our systems, DTF District will process recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals.
Some browser “Do Not Track” settings are not standardized and may not produce the same result as a legally recognized opt-out preference signal or the website’s Cookie Settings tool.
Advertising Choices
You may be able to limit targeted advertising through:
- The website’s Cookie Settings tool
- Your browser’s privacy controls
- Your mobile device’s advertising settings
- Opt-out tools offered by advertising providers
- Legally recognized universal opt-out signals
Opting out of targeted advertising does not necessarily remove all advertising. You may continue to see advertisements that are not based on tracked activity.
Cookie Retention
Some cookies expire when you close your browser, while others remain for a set period or until you delete them.
Retention depends on:
- The cookie’s purpose
- The provider that placed it
- Your consent choices
- Security requirements
- Legal and business needs
Where available, additional information about cookie providers and expiration periods may be displayed through the website’s Cookie Settings tool.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13 without legally required parental consent.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through our website, contact us so we can review and address the matter.
