Why it matters

Cross-site tracking enables advertisers to build detailed profiles of your online behavior across multiple websites, which many users find invasive and which triggers opt-out rights in several jurisdictions.

Consumer impact

Chegg collects broad categories of personal data — including sensitive information, device identifiers, usage patterns, and inferred characteristics — and shares or sells some of this data with advertising partners and business affiliates, which can affect your privacy and control over your personal information. Users who are minors receive additional protections under COPPA, and Chegg states it does not knowingly collect data from children under 13 without parental consent. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data by visiting Chegg's 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link available on its website.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Access Chegg's cookie preference center via the cookie consent banner or settings link on Chegg's website to manage or reject non-essential tracking cookies. You can also enable Global Privacy Control in your browser to signal an opt-out of data sharing automatically.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has authority over deceptive or unfair online tracking practices, including undisclosed cross-site behavioral advertising.
