Frequently asked questions

Do I have to honor Global Privacy Control in California?+

Yes. Under CPRA a GPC signal must be treated as a valid opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

Is CCPA opt-in or opt-out?+

Opt-out. Consumers can opt out of sale and sharing, and you must make that easy and honor GPC.
