An IP address is a numeric code that identifies your computer on the internet. Your IP address might also be used to gather broad demographic information.

Do Not Track

Some internet browsers offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that relies on technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to the websites visited by the user about the user’s browsers DNT preference setting. New Relic does not currently commit to responding to browser’s DNT preference across its Site , because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent. New Relic takes privacy and choices regarding privacy seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor the development around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard for DNT. 

Global Privacy Control 

Global Privacy Control is a browser setting that allows you to notify websites you visit about your privacy preferences. New Relic honors website visitors’ Global Privacy Control signals.
