The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information comes from California’s CCPA/CPRA and from similar laws in a growing number of US states. This page covers how it works here.

After the Request

What changes is that your data stops feeding ad personalisation. What does not change is your access to thirtyera.com — every article stays available, and the site behaves identically. Ads may continue, untargeted.

What We Do That Counts

We should be clear about scope. Your personal information is not sold for money. Where advertising is served, though, identifiers may be shared with advertising partners, and because these laws define ‘sale’ and ‘sharing’ expansively, that sharing may fall within them. The opt-out is offered on that basis. The opt-out covers all visitors to thirtyera.com, including readers interested in Thirtyera who simply read an article and leave.

Ways to Opt Out

To exercise the right: enable Global Privacy Control in your browser (honoured automatically, no message needed); or refuse advertising cookies via the consent banner where shown; or send an email to hello@thirtyera.com with the subject ‘Do Not Sell or Share’. We will not ask you to create an account to do this.

Our State Privacy Notice covers the remaining rights available under state law.
