Residents of California (under the CCPA/CPRA) and of other US states with comprehensive privacy laws can opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. This page explains the position at Moralsteps and the routes available.

After You Opt Out

What changes is that your data stops feeding ad personalisation. What does not change is your access to moralsteps.com — every article stays available, and the site behaves identically. Ads may continue, untargeted.

Where This Applies

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.

• The opt-out covers all visitors to moralsteps.com, including readers interested in Moralsteps who simply read an article and leave.

Submitting an Opt-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@moralsteps.com with subject ‘Do Not Sell or Share’. Creating an account is never a condition.

Full detail on state privacy rights, including access and deletion, is in our State Privacy Notice.
