Shein's privacy policy appears to have had a login consent prompt replaced with what looks like a CAPTCHA or verification interface element. Previously, users were asked to consent to having their account remembered for future logins. The new text replaces this with instructions for selecting graphics in order, suggesting a verification step replaced a consent prompt, which may affect how login preferences and consent are communicated to users.
Shein replaced a login consent prompt — which asked users if they agreed to have their account remembered — with what appears to be a CAPTCHA or graphic verification interface. This means the explicit consent mechanism for remembering your login session may no longer be visible in the policy as written. It is unclear whether this consent option still exists elsewhere in the product experience.
Shein no longer explicitly asks users in the policy text whether they agree to have their login remembered, which previously gave users a visible choice.
The removal of an explicit login consent prompt means users may no longer see a clear choice about whether their account is remembered, which touches on transparency and consent obligations. This could indicate a gap in how Shein documents user consent for session persistence under GDPR and ePrivacy rules.
An explicit prompt asking users to consent to having their account remembered for future logins was removed and replaced with what appears to be a CAPTCHA verification instruction.

Shein replaced a login session consent prompt ('remember this account') with what appears to be a CAPTCHA verification element in the policy text on April 29, 2026. This touches on consent and transparency obligations under Art. 6 and Art. 13 GDPR and analogous frameworks. The change is likely a document formatting or UI artifact rather than a substantive policy shift, but the removal of explicit consent language for session/login persistence warrants a brief review to confirm consent is captured elsewhere. Action: verify consent mechanism for login session persistence still exists in product flow.
1. GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) — lawful basis for processing; if login session persistence relies on consent, removal of the explicit consent prompt from policy text may create a gap in documented lawful basis.
