Privacy

Last updated: May 29, 2026.

What this site does

OpenAgreements is a free, public legal reference library. We publish jurisdiction-specific practice notes. We do not run user accounts, do not process payments, and do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Consent and cookies

We use Google Consent Mode v2 with a default-deny baseline: until you make a choice in the consent banner, no analytics or advertising cookies are set. The banner gives "Accept" and "Reject" equal weight. You can reopen the consent dialog any time from the footer to change your choice.

The consent banner and granular preferences UI are provided by c15t, running locally in your browser (no third-party hosted backend on our side). Your consent record is stored in your browser only.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-7H96S6VBNW) to understand aggregate site usage — which pages get read, where visitors arrive from, and which content gets engaged with. When analytics consent is granted, GA4 sets the _ga family of cookies in your browser. When consent is denied, GA4 still receives cookieless modeling pings (no identifiers, no cookies) so we can size traffic in aggregate; this is the documented behavior of Consent Mode v2.

We have not enabled Google Signals, Google Ads linking, or Google Ad Manager features on this property.

Performance monitoring

We use Vercel Speed Insights to monitor Core Web Vitals (page load, input delay, layout shift). Per Vercel's documentation, this data is anonymous, aggregated, and does not use cookies or visitor identifiers.

Newsletter signup

If you submit your email through the footer newsletter, your address is processed by Beehiiv to deliver future updates. We use double opt-in, so Beehiiv sends a confirmation email before adding you to the list. You can unsubscribe at any time from the footer of any newsletter we send. Newsletter signup is independent of analytics consent — submitting your email is itself the legal basis for sending you the updates you asked for.

What we do not do

  • We do not run cross-context behavioral advertising.
  • We do not "sell" or "share" personal information as defined by CPRA.
  • We do not require accounts or process payments.
  • We do not load social-network embed scripts that profile visitors.

California (CPRA) and Global Privacy Control

California residents have rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. Because this site does not sell or share personal information, the practical effect is limited, but the rights still apply. Our consent manager honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal where supported.

Retention

Aggregate GA4 data is retained per Google's default account-level retention (currently 2 months, the platform minimum we configure). Newsletter subscriber records are retained until you unsubscribe.
