Canva removed a cookie consent banner from the introductory section of their Terms of Use page. Previously, the page displayed a prompt asking users to accept optional cookies for personalisation and advertising, along with a link to their cookie policy. Now that prompt is gone from the terms page, though this appears to be a navigation/UI cleanup rather than a change to underlying cookie practices.
Canva removed a cookie consent notice that previously appeared at the top of its Terms of Use page, which offered users the option to accept or manage cookies for personalisation and advertising. This does not appear to change Canva's underlying cookie practices, but the banner that gave users a direct, visible way to manage cookie preferences on that page is no longer present. You can still manage cookie preferences by visiting Canva's dedicated cookie policy page directly.
Users visiting the Terms of Use page no longer see a prompt to accept or manage cookies, making it less obvious how to control cookie settings.
Users visiting Canva's Terms of Use page can no longer see or interact with a cookie consent prompt directly on that page. While this may be a cosmetic change, it reduces the visibility of users' ability to manage advertising and personalisation cookies.
The opt-in prompt for non-essential cookies and the link to the cookie policy were removed from the top of the Terms of Use page, reducing in-page visibility of cookie preference controls.

Canva removed a cookie consent banner from its Terms of Use page on May 1, 2026. The removed text included an opt-in prompt for non-essential cookies and a link to the cookie policy. This touches on consent mechanism requirements under GDPR Art. 7 and ePrivacy Directive requirements. If the consent mechanism has been relocated rather than removed entirely, no action is likely required; however, compliance teams should verify that a valid, accessible consent mechanism still exists elsewhere on the platform and that consent records remain intact.
1. GDPR Art. 7 (conditions for consent) — removal of a visible consent mechanism may affect demonstrability of freely given, informed consent.
