On May 11, 2026, Canva added a cookie consent notice to its Terms of Use that was not present before. The notice informs users that Canva uses essential cookies to operate the platform and requests consent to use additional cookies for personalization, advertising, and analytics. Users can accept all cookies or manage their preferences through the cookie policy.
Consumers: You are asked to consent to non-essential cookies before accessing the full Terms of Use and platform.
The updated Terms of Use now includes a cookie consent banner before the main terms text. Canva states it uses essential cookies to operate the platform and requests consent to use additional cookies for personalization, tailored advertising on Canva and partner sites, and website performance analysis. You can manage your cookie preferences through Canva's cookie policy rather than accepting all cookies at once.
