Shein updated their Terms and Conditions on April 29, 2026. A cookie consent prompt that previously asked users if they wanted to be remembered for easier future logins was replaced with a promotional message offering '30% Off.' This change removes a user-facing account memory consent option and replaces it with a marketing prompt, which may affect how users understand and manage their login preferences.
A cookie/login consent prompt that asked users whether they wanted their account remembered for future logins has been removed and replaced with a promotional discount message. This means users may no longer see an explicit prompt to consent to account memory cookies during this flow, reducing transparency around login tracking. You can review your browser and account cookie settings on Shein's platform to check which cookies are active and opt out if desired.
Users no longer see a yes/no question about whether Shein should remember their account for future logins; instead they see a discount offer.
Removing an explicit account-memory consent prompt reduces transparency around how Shein tracks returning users. For EU and UK users especially, this could represent a gap in the legally required cookie consent process.
The explicit YES/NO consent prompt asking users if Shein should remember their account for future logins was removed and replaced with a promotional discount offer.

Shein removed a user-facing consent prompt related to account-memory cookies and replaced it with a promotional message. This touches cookie consent obligations under ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3) and GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) for EU users, as well as CCPA notice requirements for US users. The removal of an explicit consent question from the cookie flow — even if the underlying consent mechanism exists elsewhere — warrants a brief compliance review to confirm the consent pathway remains legally complete. Action likely not urgent but should be confirmed.
1. ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) Art. 5(3): Requires prior informed consent before storing or accessing information on a user's device (including login/session cookies). Removal of an explicit consent prompt may weaken the consent record.
