Canva removed three sentences from its privacy policy that described cookie usage and consent options. The removed language previously explained that Canva uses non-essential cookies for personalization, advertising, and analytics, and invited users to review cookie choices or accept all cookies. The updated policy no longer includes this explicit disclosure about cookie purposes or the cookie consent interaction.
Consumers: Users can no longer see in the main privacy policy what cookies are used for or how to manage them; they must find this information elsewhere or rely on other notices.
The updated privacy policy no longer includes explicit language describing Canva's use of non-essential cookies for personalization, advertising tailoring, and website analytics. Previously, the policy stated that Canva would use these cookies only if users accepted. The removal of this disclosure means the policy no longer clearly explains these cookie categories or presents a consent interaction for non-essential cookies at the point where this information was previously disclosed. Depending on applicable cookie law and Canva's implementation, users may need to consult additional documentation such as a separate cookie policy to understand how non-essential cookies are managed.
