External links behavior

Some of IFSA websites link to other sites created and maintained by other public- and/or private-sector organizations. IFSA provides these links solely for your information and convenience. When you transfer to an outside website, you are leaving the IFSA domain, and IFSA's information management policies no longer apply. IFSAe encourages you to read the privacy statement of each external website that you visit before you provide any personal data.


Do Not Track (DNT)

The online advertising industry has self-regulatory initiatives designed to provide consumers a choice in the types of ads they may see online and to conveniently opt-out from online behavioral ads served by some or all of the companies participating in these programs. Our websites do not respond to DNT consumer browser settings.
