American Airlines removed the word 'Advertising' as a subheading in their cookies disclosure section on May 14, 2026. Previously, the policy included a section header labeled 'Advertising' followed by an explanation of advertising cookies. The updated version removes this header while keeping the explanatory text about advertising cookies intact. This is a formatting change with no operational impact on how American Airlines collects or uses advertising cookies.
This change is a formatting adjustment to the American Airlines Terms of Use. The removal of the 'Advertising' subheading does not alter how American Airlines describes or uses advertising cookies. The policy continues to state that the company uses advertising cookies and similar technologies to collect browsing information and provide relevant ads. No new rights or obligations for consumers were created or removed by this modification.
This change has no operational significance. American Airlines' actual use of advertising cookies, data collection practices, and consumer disclosures remain unchanged. The modification is organizational rather than substantive.
