2. Other local storage ​

The openGauss community and some third parties may use other local storage technologies in some products and services, such as local shared objects (also called "Flash cookies") and HTML5 local storage. Similar to cookies, these technologies store information on your device and can record some information about your activities and preferences. However, the devices these technologies use may differ from the devices used by standard cookies, so you may not be able to control them using standard browser tools and settings.

3. Do Not Track ​

Many browsers provide the "Do Not Track" feature, which sends the "Do Not Track" request to websites. So far, major Internet standardization organizations have not established policies to regulate how websites should respond to such requests. The openGauss community does not change how data is collected and used as described in this statement based on the "Do Not Track" setting you have selected or other opt-out settings or features that your browser may provide. However, the openGauss community reserves the right to change the data processing mode without notifying you.
