Canva added a cookie consent notice to its Terms of Use page on May 5, 2026. The new language discloses that Canva uses essential cookies to operate the service, and requests consent to use additional cookies for personalization, advertising, and analytics. Users can now accept all cookies or manage individual cookie preferences through the cookie policy.
The updated Terms of Use now include a cookie consent notice at the point of entry. The notice discloses that Canva uses essential cookies for core functionality and requests permission to use additional cookies for personalization, targeted advertising, and website analytics. The notice references Canva's cookie policy for more details and offers two options: accept all cookies or manage individual cookie preferences.
The addition of explicit cookie consent at the point of entry establishes a clear disclosure mechanism for non-essential cookie use. This change reflects standard regulatory practice for cookie management and provides users with a direct control point to accept or manage individual cookies before they are set.
→ Review cookie preferences by selecting 'Manage cookies' in the consent notice
→ Choose to accept all cookies or manage individual cookie types before proceeding
→ Non-essential cookies will not be set unless you affirmatively accept them or select specific preferences
→ You will not receive personalized content or targeted advertising if you do not consent to those cookies

This change reflects standard cookie consent disclosure practices. The addition of a cookie banner with opt-in mechanism aligns with GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, and similar global requirements for cookie consent. No new contractual obligations are created for Canva users. The change establishes a point of explicit consent before non-essential cookies are set. Compliance teams should verify that cookie categorization (essential vs non-essential) and the linked cookie policy accurately reflect actual cookie behavior.
