Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), residents of California have specific rights regarding the collection, sale, and sharing of their personal data. Grid & Formula extends these transparency frameworks to all visitors from Tier 1 jurisdictions.
Disclosures Regarding Data Selling and Sharing
Grid & Formula does not directly exchange your personal information (such as names, email addresses, or contact information) with third parties in return for monetary compensation.
However, to fund our free technical library, we partner with third-party advertising networks, primarily Google AdSense. These networks collect tracking infrastructure data, automated device identifiers, IP addresses, and generalized browsing behaviors via cookies when you read our tutorials. This process allows these networks to serve highly relevant, contextual, and personalized advertisements to you across the web. Under specific state legislations within the United States, this automated sharing of data via third-party cookies for targeted ad distribution can be legally interpreted as a “sale” or “share” of data.
How to Opt-Out of Personalized Advertising
If you prefer to prevent your device data from being utilized by advertising networks to serve personalized display units, you can execute your opt-out rights via the methods outlined below:
- Browser Cookie Controls: Set your web browser to automatically reject third-party cookies. Disabling these cookies prevents third-party ad networks from tracking your movements across different domains.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): Grid & Formula is configured to detect and honor Global Privacy Control signals. If your browser transmits a GPC opt-out signal, our infrastructure automatically disables tracking and targeted advertising setups during your session.
- Google Advertising Preferences: You can view, modify, and permanently opt out of Google’s cross-site personalized tracking systems directly by adjusting your settings within the official Google Ad Center portal.
