Canva removed the cookie consent banner from the top of their Privacy Policy page on May 1, 2026. Previously, the page displayed a prompt asking users to accept optional cookies for personalization, advertising, and analytics, with options to accept or manage preferences. Now that banner is gone, meaning users are no longer presented with that choice upfront when visiting the Privacy Policy page.
Canva removed the cookie consent banner that previously appeared on the Privacy Policy page, which allowed users to accept all cookies or manage their preferences for personalization and advertising. This means the upfront, visible mechanism for opting into or out of optional cookies is no longer presented on that page. You can still review Canva's cookie policy directly and adjust your browser or account settings to manage cookie preferences.
Users can no longer see or interact with a cookie preference prompt when visiting the Privacy Policy page, reducing the visibility of their cookie choices.
The removal of the cookie consent banner means users visiting Canva's Privacy Policy page are no longer presented with a clear, upfront choice about optional tracking and advertising cookies. This reduces transparency and may signal a change in how Canva collects consent for non-essential data processing.
The accept/manage cookie consent prompt was removed from the Privacy Policy page, eliminating a visible mechanism for users to control optional cookie preferences on that page.
Language disclosing that Canva uses optional cookies for personalisation, advertising, and analytics was removed from this page.

Canva removed the cookie consent banner (accept/manage prompt) from its Privacy Policy page as of May 1, 2026. This touches cookie consent obligations under GDPR Art. 4(11) and Art. 7, the ePrivacy Directive, UK PECR, and similar frameworks requiring freely given, informed, and specific consent before non-essential cookies are set. If the consent mechanism has been removed rather than relocated, this is a compliance gap requiring immediate attention. If it has been moved elsewhere in the user journey, that relocation must be verified to still meet 'prior to processing' requirements. Action required: confirm where the consent mechanism now lives in the user flow.
1. GDPR Art. 4(11), Art. 7, Art. 13 — Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous; removal of a visible consent mechanism raises questions about lawful basis for non-essential cookie processing.
