The L-A-D Foundation uses Google Analytics and other third-party software to obtain statistical information on who uses our site.

California Do Not Track Disclosure

Do Not Track is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on the Do Not Track signal, the browser sends a message to websites requesting them not to track the user. We do not have an interest in or need for tracking you. However, at this time, we cannot commit to respond to Do Not Track browser settings or signals because we cannot control the behavior of third party applications in use on our site. For information about Do Not Track, please visit www.allaboutdnt.org.
