GDPR and Email Opt-Out
According to international use standards the NCM® is in the process of implementing cookie tracking notices.
- Before the end of the year users will be prompted to select the extent to which the NCM® is permitted to track user activity on the NCM® website.
- Please note: Tracking user activity within the NCM® is a significant source of the information we use to assess which areas of the NCM® require additional care and updates.
- Included in this effort will be the implementation of an admin option for users to opt-out of promotional NCM® emails as well as renewal notice reminders.
