Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Your Right to Opt Out

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioural advertising.

The Publishing Times, operated by Taciturn Studios LLC, may share personal information (such as browsing behaviour and device identifiers) with advertising partners including Google AdSense, Amazon Associates, and Bookshop.org when you have consented to advertising cookies. Choosing "Essential Only" in our cookie settings exercises your opt-out right immediately.

What "Opting Out" Means

When you opt out, we will:

• Block all analytics and advertising cookies from being set in your browser
• Instruct Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Amazon Associates, and Bookshop.org not to use your data for personalised advertising
• Continue to serve non-personalised ads (contextual ads based on page content, not your profile)
• Retain essential cookies required for site functionality (login, cart, security)

Submit a Formal Opt-Out Request

If you would like to submit a formal written request — for example, to request deletion of any personal data already collected, or to receive a record of what data we hold — please complete the form below. We will respond within 45 days as required by CCPA.

Other Privacy Rights (California Residents)

In addition to the right to opt out, California residents have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell
• Delete personal information we have collected about you
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Non-discrimination — we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights
• Limit use of sensitive personal information

To exercise any of these rights, submit a request via our contact form or email us at privacy@thepublishingtimes.com.

Authorised Agent

You may designate an authorised agent to submit a request on your behalf. We will require written proof of authorisation and may verify your identity directly.
