BeReal's Terms of Service was updated on May 19, 2026 with minor editorial changes. The update removed duplicate navigation footer text and added explicit disclosure that the site uses analytics cookies to measure audience and analyze product usage. Users are now informed that by remaining on the website, they consent to this analytics cookie use and can learn more in the Cookie Policy.
The updated Terms now explicitly state that BeReal uses analytics cookies to measure audience, analyze product usage, and improve the website. The agreement specifies that by remaining on the website, users consent to this cookie use. This is a disclosure and consent mechanism rather than a new operational practice. Users can review the Cookie Policy for additional details on cookie management and opt-out options if available.
The updated Terms formalize a documented consent mechanism for analytics collection by requiring affirmative acknowledgment through continued site use rather than relying on implicit consent. This change supports compliance with privacy regulations that require explicit, transparent disclosure of non-essential cookies and data collection practices.

BeReal added explicit disclosure of analytics cookie practices to its Terms of Service on May 19, 2026. The change documents existing analytics practices and requires affirmative consent through continued site use. This disclosure aligns with transparency requirements under privacy regulations such as GDPR (which requires clear disclosure of non-essential cookies) and CCPA (which requires disclosure of data collection practices). No new operational practice is being introduced, only formalized disclosure. Compliance teams should verify that the Cookie Policy provides adequate granularity on cookie categories, purposes, and opt-out mechanisms.
