If you live in California (CCPA/CPRA), or in another US state with a comprehensive privacy law, you can require that your personal information not be sold or shared for cross-context behavioural advertising. This page sets out how to exercise that right with Howtostudywell.

Effect of Your Choice

Once opted out, we stop sharing advertising identifiers with ad partners. Advertising itself may continue in generic form. There is no penalty of any kind: the site is not degraded, restricted, or priced differently for readers who opt out.

Defining the Terms

No money changes hands for your data. The relevant practice is this: where advertising runs, ad partners may receive cookie or device identifiers associated with your browser. Because ‘sale’ and ‘sharing’ are defined broadly in these statutes, that may qualify — so we offer the opt-out regardless.

The opt-out is not limited to subscribers: any of readers interested in Howtostudywell browsing howtostudywell.com can use it.

How to Proceed

Pick a route. Global Privacy Control in your browser is honoured automatically by this site — that alone is sufficient. Otherwise use the cookie consent banner where it appears, or email hello@howtostudywell.com, subject ‘Do Not Sell or Share’. An account is never required to opt out.

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