Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users of Equifax websites and services operate under terms that authorize persistent tracking through multiple technologies and permit the sharing of behavioral data with advertising partners for cross-context advertising purposes. The provision applies to all website interactions without requiring affirmative consent mechanisms beyond continued use.
