On June 17, 2026, Snowflake significantly restructured its privacy notice webpage. The document removed 27 sentences covering detailed cookie consent mechanisms, cookie categories (strictly necessary, performance, functional, targeting), and granular privacy preference controls. The updated version retains footer links to privacy resources but no longer displays the interactive cookie preference center or explanations of cookie use and types. This eliminates the detailed disclosure of how cookies function and removes mechanisms that previously allowed users to manage cookie preferences directly on the page.
