According to the privacy policy, the domain names associated with a user's device are collected.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

What is the purpose of the collection?

Joe Morrisroe

Thank you for that one.

Joe Morrisroe

I think I would prefer to be able to get back to you if you don't mind, because the answer I'm going to give you is based on my knowledge, but I'd rather get our experts to give me the answer to give to you.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

I imagine it's the same reply, but for the cookies.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Does the cookie banner to provide options for users to opt out from using the non-essential cookies?

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Do you plan to provide that option for New Yorkers?

Joe Morrisroe

With respect, I would appreciate being able to do that and get back to you on that one.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Okay.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

So those are more like OTI questions.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Yes.

Joe Morrisroe

I've talked to my colleagues who are very proficient in that.

Joe Morrisroe

Okay.
