Do Not Sell My Personal Information and the California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), effective January 1, 2020, gives California residents the right to opt out of the sale of their Personal Information by a business subject to the law. This law defines "personal information" and "sale" very broadly to include data sharing that does not involve monetary payments and may not include names or email addresses. It is unclear whether third party targeted advertising cookies involve the sale of Personal Information under California law.

Except to the extent that third party targeted advertising cookies constitute a "sale" of personal information under applicable law, we do not sell any Personal Information collected through this site.
