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 bookwiden.com.

What Is Actually Involved

We do not sell your personal information for money, and we never have. What can happen is narrower: where advertising is served on this site, advertising cookies and device identifiers may be made available to advertising partners. The statutory definitions of ‘sale’ and ‘sharing’ are wide enough to capture that arrangement, so we treat it as opt-out-able rather than argue about the label.

It applies across the whole of bookwiden.com and to every reader of our coverage of Choosing a Toddler Bookshelf.

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.

Submitting an Opt-Out

Pick a route. Global Privacy Control in your browser is honoured automatically by this site — that alone is sufficient. Otherwise use the cookie consent banner where it appears, or email hello@bookwiden.com, subject ‘Do Not Sell or Share’. An account is never required to opt out.

This is one right among several; the rest are in our State Privacy Notice.
