Booking.com removed a single link from its footer navigation on April 29, 2026. The link 'Don't sell or share my personal information' was deleted from the footer menu. This removal eliminates a direct consumer access point to a privacy control that may be required under certain US state privacy laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Consumers: Consumers no longer have a prominent footer link to exercise their right to opt out of data sales and sharing, making this right harder to find and exercise.
Booking.com removed a footer link that provided direct access to opt-out controls for data sales and sharing. This does not necessarily eliminate the underlying right to opt out, but it removes a prominent, easy-to-find disclosure mechanism that many privacy laws require companies to make available. Consumers may still be able to exercise opt-out rights through account settings or privacy notice submissions, but they must now actively search for these options rather than finding them in the footer navigation.
→ Check your Booking.com account privacy settings to locate the opt-out controls for data sales and sharing.
→ Contact Booking.com customer service to request information about how to exercise your data privacy rights under state law.
