Do US privacy laws require opt-in or opt-out?

Most US state laws follow an opt-out model. Businesses must offer a way to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and honour Global Privacy Control signals, while sensitive data and minors may require stricter handling.

Are cookie banners required in the United States?

There is no general cookie consent requirement, but using trackers can trigger sale or sharing rules under state laws, which require a clear opt-out mechanism such as a Do Not Sell or Share link.

Q: Is there a federal privacy law in the United States?

No. The United States has no comprehensive federal privacy law. It has a growing patchwork of state laws led by California's CCPA, plus FTC enforcement against unfair or deceptive practices.

Samtykke og databeskyttelse i United States

The United States has no single federal privacy law. Instead it has a state-by-state patchwork led by California's CCPA as amended by the CPRA, joined by Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Florida, and others. Most of these laws follow an opt-out model rather than the EU opt-in approach, so businesses must offer a Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link and honour Global Privacy Control signals. Sensitive data and minors often require stricter handling or opt-in. The FTC enforces against unfair and deceptive practices nationally, while state attorneys general enforce their own laws. There is no general cookie consent requirement, but tracking can trigger sale or sharing rules.
