Shein updated its website interface on April 19, 2026 to add three UI elements: a message informing returning users that saved shopping cart items are preserved, a prompt to sign in to view those items, and a new cookie preference dialog asking users to consent to account persistence across sessions. One CAPTCHA-style verification instruction was removed. These are interface and user experience changes rather than modifications to Shein's contractual Terms and Conditions or Privacy Policy.
The updated website interface now informs returning users that items previously added to their shopping cart have been saved and encourages them to sign in to view them. Additionally, Shein added a cookie consent dialog asking users to permit account persistence across browser sessions. These are interface changes that improve user convenience rather than modifications to substantive contractual rights or privacy obligations.
→ Sign in to view saved shopping cart items when prompted
