Even though I unchecked the box next to Tell websites not to sell or share my data, opt-out is not disabled, and I continue to get "Opt-out signal honored" on websites I visit

Hello, First, make sure that privacy extensions that you may have installed have this opt out popup. If no extensions of this kind are present, you can ignore this. Next, if you are using an alternative search engine, like brave, duckduckgo, or waterfox, these popups are always enabled. If the issue is still persistent, you can shut off the notification by going to about:config, accept the risk (use at own discretion), and then search for '''privacy.globalprivacycontrol.enabled''' and set it to false. If the signal is still disabled yet you keep seeing this notification, check try disabling "clear cookies and site data when closed".
