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).
We will also provide an individual opt-out choice, or opt-in for sensitive data, before we share your data with third parties other than our agents, or before we use it for a purpose other than which it was originally collected.
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).
