Assessment

The change establishes an affirmative consent mechanism aligned with standard privacy and cookie law compliance practices. No material enforcement obligation is created beyond what already applies under existing privacy regulation; the change formalizes disclosure and consent timing that likely aligns with GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy Directive requirements already applicable to Snowflake's operations.

Regulatory Exposure
