Writer removed 21 sentences from its Terms of Service that previously described cookie usage, consent mechanisms, and user opt-out rights for targeted advertising. The updated terms no longer include specific language about how cookies are used, the requirement to accept cookies before site use, opt-out procedures for targeted advertising cookies, or technical details about strictly necessary cookies. This means the cookie and privacy choice framework previously displayed in the terms has been removed, though Writer's Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice remain referenced as the governing documents.
The updated Terms of Service no longer include explicit descriptions of cookie types, consent mechanisms, or opt-out procedures for targeted advertising cookies. The removal does not alter Writer's actual cookie practices, as the Terms now direct users to the Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice for those details. Cookie governance and user opt-out rights remain available through those separate documents.
The updated Terms of Service consolidate cookie governance into separate Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice documents. This is a structural change that removes explicit cookie language from the primary Terms but does not alter the underlying cookie practices, consent requirements, or user rights. Users seeking cookie information will need to reference the separate documents rather than the Terms themselves.
→ Review Writer's Cookie Notice and Privacy Policy for cookie consent and opt-out procedures.
→ Cookie governance and user rights remain subject to Writer's Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice rather than the Terms of Service.
Cookie consent, types, and opt-out procedures moved from Terms to Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice.
This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Writer removed cookie-specific consent language from its Terms of Service, consolidating cookie governance into the Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice documents. This is a structural reorganization rather than a substantive change to cookie practices or user rights. No new regulatory obligations are created. Organizations using Writer should verify that the referenced Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice adequately disclose cookie practices to satisfy GDPR, CCPA, and similar consent-based frameworks, but this change itself does not alter those requirements.
GDPR (consent requirements for non-essential cookies), CCPA (opt-out rights for targeted advertising), ePrivacy Directive (cookie consent mandates)
