ADP removed detailed cookie consent and preference management language from its privacy policy on May 1, 2026. The policy previously included a tool that explained which cookies collected data, who used them, and what they were used for, with granular opt-out options for functional, analytics, and advertising cookies. That entire cookie management section and related transparency disclosures have been deleted.

1 protection removed

Consumers: Users can no longer see or manage which specific cookies ADP places on their devices through the policy-disclosed preference tool.

What this means for you

ADP deleted the cookie preference management tool that previously allowed users to understand and control which cookies were placed on their devices, including functional, analytics, and advertising cookies. The removal eliminates the transparency mechanism through which users could consent to or opt out of different cookie categories. The practical effect depends on whether ADP has replaced this functionality elsewhere or whether cookies continue to be placed without equivalent granular user control.

What you can do

Review ADP's website or contact ADP directly to locate any replacement cookie preference management tool or control mechanism.

Check browser privacy settings or privacy-focused extensions to verify what cookies are placed by ADP and manage them at the browser level if no equivalent ADP-provided control exists.

Key Clauses Affected

Cookie Privacy Statement and preference management tool

Removed disclosure of cookie categories (Required, Functional, Analytics, Advertising), user preference controls, and explanations of cookie uses and operators.

Cookie consent and opt-out disclosures

Deleted explicit references to user ability to set cookie preferences and opt out of Functional, Analytics, and Advertising cookies.
