US state privacy law — California’s CCPA/CPRA and its counterparts elsewhere — gives you a right to opt out of the ‘sale’ or ‘sharing’ of your personal information for advertising. What follows is how that operates on wordsonsight.com.

How This Applies to Us

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 covers all visitors to wordsonsight.com, including readers interested in WordsOnSight who simply read an article and leave.

After the Request

Expect generic advertising rather than none. The sharing stops immediately; the ad slots may remain. Access, content and functionality on wordsonsight.com are identical whether or not you have opted out.

Making the Request

The quickest route needs no message from you at all: enable Global Privacy Control in your browser or as an extension. We detect and honour that signal automatically on every visit. Alternatively, set your preference in the cookie consent banner where one is shown, or email hello@wordsonsight.com with ‘Do Not Sell or Share’ as the subject line. No account is needed, and we do not require you to create one.

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