AI21 Labs revised its cookie and tracking consent language on April 30, 2026. The updated terms now explicitly state that some cookies cannot be opted out of (first-party strictly necessary cookies), while adding clearer descriptions of how tracking data is used for personalization and advertising. The changes make the opt-out process more prominent and specify which cookie categories are mandatory versus optional.

What this means for you

The updated terms make clear that certain cookies required for website functionality (login, settings, session management) cannot be disabled, while other tracking—particularly for targeted advertising—can now be opted out through a dedicated button. The policy now explicitly discloses that collected data may be used for 'personalized web experience' and targeted advertising. You can click the 'Your Opt-Out Rights' button to opt out of data sale and targeted advertising.

What you can do

Click the 'Your Opt-Out Rights' button to opt out of data sale and targeted advertising if you do not want your data used for these purposes.

Review the cookie settings to understand which types of cookies are being set and which can be disabled (all except strictly necessary functional cookies).

Key Clauses Affected

Mandatory First-Party Cookies

New language explicitly states that first-party strictly necessary cookies cannot be opted out of because they are required for website functionality (login, settings, session management).

Opt-Out Rights Button

Added explicit reference to a dedicated 'Your Opt-Out Rights' button allowing users to opt out of data sale and targeted advertising.

Personalization Disclosure

Updated language now states collected information is used to provide a 'more personalized web experience,' expanding the prior disclosure of data use.
