Impact Summary

Medium Positive for users
Affected users
All users Colorado residents Users in US jurisdictions with privacy laws

AI21 Labs revised its cookie and data collection disclosure to add explicit opt-out mechanisms for personal data sale and targeted advertising, specifically referencing Colorado Privacy Act rights. The updated language now describes how third-party trackers collect information for analytics and personalized ads, and provides a toggle to opt out of both the sale of personal data and targeted advertising. Previously, the terms focused on cookie categories and general privacy choices without explicitly addressing data sale or targeted advertising opt-outs.
