California’s CCPA as amended by the CPRA, and comparable laws in other US states, give you the right to stop your personal information being ‘sold’ or ‘shared’ for cross-context behavioural advertising. This page explains how that applies to classbudget.com and how to exercise the right.

The Practical Result

After you opt out, targeted advertising ceases but advertising may not. The site itself is unchanged — no content is locked, no feature is removed, and no reader is disadvantaged for having exercised the right.

Scope of This Right

No money changes hands for your data. The relevant practice is this: where advertising runs, ad partners may receive cookie or device identifiers associated with your browser. Because ‘sale’ and ‘sharing’ are defined broadly in these statutes, that may qualify — so we offer the opt-out regardless.

• This covers all of classbudget.com, including readers interested in Classbudget who arrive from a search result and read a single page.

Your Opt-Out Options

You can opt out by enabling a Global Privacy Control signal in your browser, which this site honours automatically without any message from you; by declining advertising cookies in the consent banner where it appears; or by emailing hello@classbudget.com under the subject ‘Do Not Sell or Share’. None of these routes requires you to register.

Our State Privacy Notice covers the remaining rights available under state law.
