Opting out of sale and sharing

We do not sell personal information for money. If you allow the advertising category, the disclosure of your visit to Google and its advertising partners may count as “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising under California law. Switching that category off above is a complete opt-out: the advertising tag is no longer loaded at all, so there is nothing left to share. Sending a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser has the same effect automatically, on every visit, without you having to ask.

Other controls worth knowing
