In today's digital age, it is essential to understand how our personal information is being used and shared online. With various websites and platforms using cookies to collect data, it's important for users to have control over these activities. In response to this need, the Walt Disney Family of Companies has provided users with the ability to opt out of certain activities related to targeted advertising and sharing of personal information.

According to the information provided, these cookies are necessary for the functioning of the services offered by the Walt Disney Family of Companies and cannot be switched off in their systems. Users can, however, choose to set their browser to block or receive alerts about these cookies. It's worth noting that by blocking these cookies, some parts of the site may not work properly.

The Walt Disney Family of Companies may use personal information to support targeted advertising and sharing, as defined by applicable privacy laws, allowing third parties to receive users' personal information. To address these concerns, users or their legally authorized agents can move the opt-out toggle provided to the left, thereby opting out of these activities on the specific digital property.

It is essential to understand that the opt-out choice only applies to the specific digital property being accessed. If users access other digital properties of the Walt Disney Family of Companies, they will need to make their opt-out election for each property separately. Additionally, if users clear their cookies or switch to a different browser or device, they may need to opt out again on the specific property.

In addition to the opt-out toggle, the Walt Disney Family of Companies provides users with the option to provide additional information through an opt-out form. This form allows for a broader opt-out election beyond just the specific digital property.

For users who want to take a more inclusive approach, an online universal tool, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), is available. Enabling this tool automatically communicates the user's opt-out preferences. The Walt Disney Family of Companies processes the GPC signal as a request to opt out of targeted advertising and sharing.

Despite opting out, users may still see advertising, including ads that may be based on personal information processed before the opt-out election. It's important to note that users have separate rights to opt out of certain third parties selling and sharing their personal information. This can be done through the IAB opt-out list.

To further limit interest-based advertising or tracking, users may also consider using other available online tools. Resources such as "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" and "Targeted Advertising" Opt-Out Rights can provide additional information on how to exercise these options.

In conclusion, the Walt Disney Family of Companies has taken steps to empower users and offer transparency in the use and sharing of personal information. By providing options to opt out of targeted advertising and sharing activities, users can now have greater control over their online privacy.
