Do Not Sell or Share My Info

This version: 22 July 2026

Residents of California (under the CCPA/CPRA) and of other US states with comprehensive privacy laws can opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. This page explains the position at Bashjoy and the routes available.

What Opting Out Does

After an opt-out, advertising identifiers are no longer shared for targeted advertising. Ads may still be served, but generically. You lose nothing else: no content is withheld and no part of the site is restricted as a result.

The Practice in Question

What actually happens: no data is sold for money, but where advertising is served on bashjoy.com, advertising partners may receive cookie or device identifiers. State privacy laws define ‘sale’ and ‘sharing’ broadly enough that this may be caught, so we offer an opt-out rather than take a narrow view.

The opt-out covers all visitors to bashjoy.com, including hosts planning a celebration who simply read an article and leave.

Turning This Off

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@bashjoy.com under the subject ‘Do Not Sell or Share’. None of these routes requires you to register.

See the State Privacy Notice for the complete picture on state privacy rights.
