We share information only in the limited circumstances below:

3.1 Service Providers

We share your information with third-party service providers who help us operate the Site (email delivery, SMS delivery, analytics, hosting, etc.). These providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and are bound by their published privacy policies and the commercial agreements governing our use of their services. See Section 7 for a current list.

3.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others; or (c) respond to a legitimate legal claim.

If Anything Online, LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar business transfer, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

3.4 With Your Consent

We may share your information with other parties when you expressly consent to such sharing.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, analyze traffic, and (with your consent where required) serve relevant advertising.

4.1 Types of Cookies We Use

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for basic Site functionality (e.g., keeping you logged in, remembering form entries). These cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., Google Analytics). You can disable these via your browser settings.
  • Advertising Cookies: Used to measure ad performance and (where enabled) serve relevant ads on other websites. You can opt out via the methods described below.

4.2 Your Cookie Choices

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though doing so may affect how the Site works for you.

For advertising cookies specifically, you can opt out through industry opt-out platforms:

4.3 Global Privacy Control (GPC)

We recognize and honor Global Privacy Control signals from browsers that support them. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, consistent with California law.

4.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature. There is currently no industry standard for responding to DNT signals, and our Site does not currently respond to them. We do honor GPC signals as described above.

5. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Offers

CPA Exam Guide contains affiliate links to CPA exam review courses, study materials, and related products. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

The privacy practices of those third-party sites are governed by their own privacy policies, not ours. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit after leaving CPA Exam Guide.

Clicking an affiliate link may result in the third party placing cookies on your device. These cookies are controlled by the third party and are not subject to this Privacy Policy.
