Canva removed three sentences from its privacy policy that described optional cookie uses and prompted users to accept or manage cookie preferences. The removed text explained that Canva uses non-essential cookies to personalize visits, tailor ads, and analyze website performance, and directed users to a separate cookie policy. The updated policy no longer includes this cookie consent disclosure or the associated management options on the privacy policy page.
Consumers: Users can no longer review cookie uses or express preferences through the privacy policy page.
The updated privacy policy no longer explicitly discloses optional cookie uses or provides cookie preference controls on the privacy policy page itself. Previously, Canva stated it would use non-essential cookies for personalization, ad targeting, and analytics only if users accepted, and offered 'Accept all cookies' and 'Manage cookies' options. The removal of this disclosure and consent mechanism may affect how users understand cookie practices and when consent is obtained. Users who previously accessed cookie preferences through the privacy policy will need to locate these controls elsewhere on the Canva platform if they remain available.
