Event Summary

Writer removed 21 sentences of cookie consent and management language from its Terms of Service on June 2, 2026. The updated terms no longer include detailed descriptions of cookie types (strictly necessary, functional, performance, targeting), opt-out mechanisms for targeted advertising cookies, or interactive consent management interfaces. The practical effect is that the Terms of Service now contains minimal cookie disclosure, though the document still references the separate Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice where such information may be maintained.

LOW

Consumer Impact

The updated Terms of Service no longer includes detailed descriptions of cookie categories, consent mechanisms, or opt-out instructions for targeted advertising. However, the document continues to reference the separate Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice. Depending on how Writer maintains those separate documents, the practical availability of cookie controls and disclosures may not change, though users will need to consult the Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice rather than the main Terms of Service for this information.

Governance Analysis

The updated Terms of Service no longer contains the primary consumer-facing disclosure about cookie types, user rights to opt out of targeted advertising, and cookie management mechanisms. While the document references a separate Cookie Notice, the practical accessibility and completeness of cookie disclosures now depends on Writer maintaining equivalent information in those separate documents.

Key Clauses Affected

Cookie disclosure and management provisions

Removed detailed cookie consent language, opt-out mechanisms, and descriptions of cookie types from the Terms of Service; references now direct users to separate Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice.

Institutional Analysis

Assessment

Writer relocated cookie consent and management language from its Terms of Service to separate Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice documents. This is a structural change rather than a substantive modification of cookie practices. Organizations relying on the Terms of Service as the primary source of cookie disclosures should confirm that equivalent information is maintained in the referenced separate documents. No new regulatory obligation appears to be created by this change, though the relocation does not alter underlying GDPR, CCPA, or similar privacy law compliance requirements that may apply to Writer's actual cookie practices.
