Effective: 16 August 2026

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.

The Effect of Opting Out

After an opt-out, advertising identifiers are no longer shared for targeted advertising. Ads may still be served, but generically. You lose nothing else: no content is withheld and no part of the site is restricted as a result.

What the Terms Mean Here

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.

How to Proceed

Easiest first: switch on Global Privacy Control in your browser settings or via an extension — it is detected and honoured on every page load, automatically. Failing that, use the cookie banner where shown, or email hello@vetbudget.com, subject line ‘Do Not Sell or Share’. We never require an account to process an opt-out.

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