Global Privacy Control (GPC) & Do Not Sell / Share

BrainyFlavors automatically recognizes and honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals sent by your browser (such as Sec-GPC HTTP header or navigator.globalPrivacyControl JavaScript property). When a GPC signal is detected, our website automatically suppresses all non-essential advertising trackers, conversion pixels, and third-party data sharing.

• •Automatic Opt-Out: If your browser transmits a GPC preference signal, advertising and targeted measurement cookies (such as Google Ads) are immediately set to 'denied' (Do Not Sell/Share).
• •Transparency File: BrainyFlavors maintains an official W3C transparency declaration accessible at https://brainyflavors.com/.well-known/gpc.json.
• •Opt-Out Preference Mechanics: Visitors in jurisdictions with active privacy statutes (such as CCPA/CPRA, CPA, VCDPA, UCPA, CTDPA) can opt out of third-party data sharing at any time using our Cookie Preference Manager or by enabling GPC in their browser.

State Privacy Rights & Opt-Out Options

Under state privacy frameworks (including California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, and Utah), residents have the right to request access, deletion, and opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information for targeted advertising.

• •Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing: We do not sell personal data for monetary payment. However, certain third-party advertising tags (e.g. Google Ads) may constitute 'sharing' under applicable state laws. You may disable advertising cookies via our consent settings.
• •Exercising Your Rights: You can exercise your opt-out rights directly by clicking 'Cookie Preferences' in our footer, sending a GPC browser signal, or contacting us at privacy@brainyflavors.com.
