Coursera's privacy notice footer was updated on April 19, 2026 to add a link labeled 'Do Not Sell/Share' in the footer navigation. This link appears to relate to consumer privacy rights, likely enabling users to opt out of certain data sales or sharing practices. The change makes this opt-out mechanism more visible and accessible to users visiting the site.
Coursera's privacy notice now includes a 'Do Not Sell/Share' link in the footer, making it easier for users to discover and exercise opt-out rights regarding data sales or information sharing. This aligns with consumer privacy law requirements in jurisdictions like California. Users who wish to opt out of data sales or sharing can now access this option directly from the footer.
The 'Do Not Sell/Share' link makes it easier for users, particularly California residents and others in states with similar privacy laws, to exercise their right to opt out of data sales. State privacy regulations require this opt-out mechanism to be conspicuous and accessible; the footer placement improves compliance and user awareness.
→ Click the 'Do Not Sell/Share' link in Coursera's footer to review and exercise your opt-out rights if you reside in a state with data sales restrictions.
→ Users do not lose existing rights by inaction; the link is optional. However, without using the opt-out, users may not signal their preference to limit data sales or sharing under applicable state laws.
Footer now includes a direct link enabling users to opt out of data sales or sharing, improving accessibility to consumer privacy rights under state law.
