Does CCPA apply to my business?

California's CCPA/CPRA applies above certain thresholds (revenue, data volume, or selling data), and 10+ other states have similar laws. If you sell to US consumers and collect personal data or use targeted ads, you likely need a notice and opt-out.

What is a 'Do Not Sell or Share' link?

A clear, account-free link (often "Your Privacy Choices") letting consumers opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information — including cross-context behavioural advertising cookies.

What is GPC and do I have to honor it?

Global Privacy Control is a browser opt-out signal. Under CPRA and several state laws you must treat it as a valid opt-out of sale/sharing.
