Kudos to the writer, Greg Bensinger, a member of the Times’ editorial board, who does a laudable job calling out obnoxious dark patterns.

We will contact you to verify your identity before we respond to your authorized agent’s request.Īfter 12 months, we may ask you if you want to opt into the “sale” of your personal information.įor further information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.A recent New York Times op-ed, titled “Stopping the Manipulation Machines,” derided the use of dark patterns: design tricks that push people to do things online by confusing or deliberately inconveniencing them. To protect your information, we will ask for a signed permission from you authorizing the other person to submit a request on your behalf. You can designate someone else to make a request on your behalf. We do not control these opt-out mechanisms and are not responsible for their operation.

To opt out of the “sale” of your personal information from participating companies, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance website or apps. To opt-out of interest-based advertising as much as technically possible, go to “How Do I Manage Trackers” in our Cookie Policy. Exercising your right to opt out of the “sale” of your personal information does not mean that you will stop seeing ads on our sites and apps. If you wish to have a “do not track” experience across all of your browsers and devices, please make sure that all of your browsers and devices are set on “do not track.”Īfter you opt out of the “sale” of your personal information, we will no longer “sell” your personal information to third parties (except in an aggregated or de-identified manner so it is no longer personal information), but we will continue to share your personal information with our service providers, which process it on our behalf. If your browser or device is using a “do not track” setting, we will detect it and honor it on that specific browser or device only. If you are not logged in, or do not have an account with any Times Services listed above, your opt-out of the “sale” of personal information will be specific to the browser or device from which you have clicked “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” and until you clear your cookies (or local storage in apps) on this browser or device. Once you have opted out, you will see a change to “We No Longer Sell Your Personal Information.” If you have an account with certain Times Services (specifically, , /crosswords, the New York Times app, the New York Times Cooking app and the New York Times Crossword app) and are logged in, we will save your preference and honor your opt-out request across browsers and devices so long as you remain logged in. You can also submit a request to opt-out by emailing us at with the subject line “California Resident - Do Not Sell.” To exercise this right, click the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link in the footer of our website or under your “Account,” which you have already done. To the extent The New York Times Company “sells” your personal information (as the term “sell” is defined under the CCPA), you have the right to opt-out of that “sale” on a going-forward basis at any time.

For example, sharing an advertising or device identifier to a third party may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA. It includes the sharing of personal information with third parties in exchange for something of value, even if no money changes hands. But “sell” under the CCPA is broadly defined. The New York Times Company does not sell personal information of its readers as the term “sell” is traditionally understood.
