Under the CCPA/CPRA and equivalent US state statutes you may direct a business to stop selling or sharing your personal information for targeted advertising. Here is what that means on this site, and how to do it.

After the Request

The change is to targeting alone: identifiers stop being shared, and any ads shown become generic. Site access is completely unaffected, and no reader is penalised for opting out.

The Practice in Question

Nothing is sold for cash. What may occur is that, where advertising appears on this site, advertising partners receive cookie and device identifiers tied to your browser — conduct potentially covered by the statutory terms ‘sale’ and ‘sharing’. We treat it as covered and give you the opt-out. This applies to everyone reading our coverage of Culturalpilgrim on culturalpilgrim.com, whether or not you have ever subscribed or commented.

How to Tell Us

Opt out in whichever way suits. Global Privacy Control, enabled in your browser, is honoured here automatically and needs no contact with us. The consent banner, where displayed, lets you refuse advertising cookies. Or email hello@culturalpilgrim.com with subject ‘Do Not Sell or Share’. Creating an account is never a condition.

The full list of applicable state rights lives in the State Privacy Notice.
