GPC recognition provides a browser-level opt-out mechanism, meaning consumers do not need to submit a manual request to exercise sale and sharing opt-out rights on homedepot.com.
If your browser sends a GPC signal while you visit homedepot.com, Home Depot will treat it as an opt-out of personal information sales and targeted advertising sharing.
How other platforms handle this
we do honor legally-recognized browser-based mechanisms (such as the Global Privacy Control designed to signal your opt out choices under certain state laws).
When you use them, we'll validate your request by verifying your identity (for example, by confirming that you're signed in to your Google Account).
If you choose to reveal any personal information about yourself to other users, you do so at your own risk. We strongly encourage you to use caution in disclosing any personal information online.
