This page exists because California’s CCPA/CPRA and similar state laws grant a right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising. Below: how that applies to this site, and how to act on it.

After You Opt Out

The effect is on targeting, not on volume. Ads may still appear, chosen without reference to your browsing. The rest of melodystart.com works exactly as before — opting out never costs you access, features, or content.

What This Covers

To be precise about what is and is not happening: Melodystart does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. However, where advertising is displayed on melodystart.com, advertising identifiers may be shared with ad partners, and state law may classify that as a ‘sale’ or as ‘sharing’. We therefore make the opt-out available rather than rely on a narrow reading.

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

How to Tell Us

The automatic route is Global Privacy Control: enable it in your browser and this site respects it on every visit without you asking. Manual routes are the consent banner, where one is presented, and email to hello@melodystart.com with ‘Do Not Sell or Share’ in the subject. No account or registration is needed.

The full list of applicable state rights lives in the State Privacy Notice.
