Impact Summary

Medium Negative for users
Affected users
All users

Shein removed language from their cookie consent interface that asked users whether they agreed to have their account remembered for future logins. The new version no longer includes this yes/no choice; instead, it displays a promotional message offering 30% off. This change simplifies the cookie notice but removes explicit user control over account persistence.

1 protection removed

Consumers: Users no longer see or answer a question about whether they want Shein to remember their account for future logins.

What this means for you

Previously, Shein asked users to explicitly agree or disagree with account persistence for future logins. The updated terms remove this choice entirely. Instead of a consent decision, users now see a promotional discount offer in that location. This means users lose direct control over whether Shein maintains their login session across device visits, which affects convenience and privacy preferences around authentication persistence.

What you can do

Review your Shein account settings to check whether automatic login persistence is enabled and disable it if you prefer not to stay logged in across sessions.

Key Clauses Affected

Cookie consent and account persistence choice

Removed explicit user yes/no choice regarding account persistence; replaced with promotional messaging.
