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

Opting out affects personalisation only. Ads may still be shown, selected without your data. We do not restrict, downgrade, or charge differently for the site on account of an opt-out — that would be unlawful.

What Is Actually Involved

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.

• This applies to everyone reading our coverage of Handlelane on handlelane.com, whether or not you have ever subscribed or commented.

Opting Out

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@handlelane.com with subject ‘Do Not Sell or Share’. Creating an account is never a condition.

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