Enable the GPC signal to opt-out of the sale of your personal data and evaluate how websites behave in response to this setting

The right for website visitors to opt-out of the sale of personal information is a hallmark of data privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Regulators are accelerating enforcement against companies that do not honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out. "Under law, [GPC] must be honored by covered businesses as a valid consumer request to stop the sale of personal information." https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa"

The Global Privacy Control Inspector enables enables users to set the GPC signal according to the specification at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. Users can use the extension to determine which websites honor the opt-out setting and understand whether personal data is shared with third parties.

For developers and IT teams, this extension helps understand and debug how webpages respond to the GPC signal. Diagnostic capabilities include:
- Validate the GPC signal was set and the website response is consistent with the GPC specification
- Diagnose website behavior including whether the GPC signal was read by the page
- Debug whether personal data is shared by examining information provided to third parties using beacons and cookies.
