No CCPA/US state opt-out link in footer

This check looks for a 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' or 'Your Privacy Choices' link in the site footer, required wherever a US state privacy law applies. On this site, tracking such as analytics, ads, or marketing pixels is present, and the site shows US-jurisdiction signals like US locale paths, US state mentions, or CCPA/CPRA references, but no such footer link was found. This link is required by California's CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) and, as of 2026, by 16 US states in total. Non-compliance can trigger enforcement action from a state attorney general and creates class-action exposure, since it's one of the most straightforward things a plaintiff's lawyer can check for on a site. Your legal team should add a 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' or 'Your Privacy Choices' link to the global site footer, connected to a working opt-out flow that actually stops the relevant data sharing when a visitor uses it. This is typically about two hours of combined legal wording and developer implementation.
