Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision is directly required by the CCPA as amended by the CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.120, §1798.135), enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and California Attorney General. The CPRA expanded the opt-out right to include 'sharing' for cross-context behavioral advertising in addition to 'sale.' Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal honoring is required under CPPA regulations (11 C.C.R. §7025).
