ADP added a new cookie disclosure and management tool to its privacy policy on May 2, 2026. The updated terms now describe how ADP uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for functional, analytics, and advertising purposes, and provide users with a tool to manage their cookie preferences. This change makes transparent what data collection methods are in use and gives users control over which cookies can be set on their browser.
ADP has added a cookie management interface that discloses how cookies are used on its website for three categories: required functional cookies (always active), analytics cookies (measuring performance), and advertising cookies (serving targeted ads). The updated policy explains what each cookie type does and gives you the ability to choose whether to accept analytics and advertising cookies, while required cookies remain active. You can now adjust your cookie preferences through the tool described in the updated policy.
The addition of cookie disclosure and management controls ensures users understand what tracking technologies are in use on ADP's website and can exercise choice over non-essential data collection. This transparency aligns with user expectations and legal standards for cookie consent, particularly under GDPR and CCPA.
→ Review ADP's Cookie Privacy Statement to understand what data each cookie category collects
→ Use the cookie preference tool to opt out of analytics and/or advertising cookies if desired
→ Analytics and advertising cookies will be set by default unless you actively opt out
→ Your browsing behavior on ADP's website may be tracked for performance measurement and targeted advertising
ADP now discloses three categories of cookies (required functional, analytics, advertising) and provides users with a control mechanism to accept or reject non-required cookies.
This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
ADP's privacy policy now includes explicit disclosure of cookie usage across three categories (functional, analytics, advertising) with a user-facing preference management tool. This aligns with transparency expectations under GDPR Article 13 (information to be provided), CCPA disclosure requirements, and general FTC Act Section 5 standards requiring clear disclosure of data practices. The addition does not appear to expand data collection authority but rather formalizes and transparentizes existing practices. No new vendor-specific compliance obligations are created by this change alone, though any downstream vendor or controller using ADP services should confirm the scope of cookie usage disclosed.
