Snowflake's updated Privacy Notice, detected on July 21, 2026, adds extensive cookie and consent disclosure language to the website footer and legal resources section. The change introduces detailed explanations of cookie categories (strictly necessary, performance, functional, and targeting), a cookie consent banner with accept/reject options, and a privacy preference center allowing visitors to manage cookie settings. Previously, the document did not contain this granular cookie disclosure and consent framework in the captured sections.
The updated Privacy Notice now includes a cookie consent banner and preference center that allow website visitors to manage cookie usage. The document states that by clicking 'Accept Cookies' or closing the banner, visitors provide consent to cookie use, and that they can adjust preferences through a privacy preference center. The updated terms distinguish between strictly necessary cookies (which cannot be disabled), performance cookies (used for site analytics), functional cookies (for enhanced features), and targeting cookies (used by advertising partners). You can manage your cookie preferences through the privacy preference center or use the unsubscribe links provided in communications.
The updated Privacy Notice now establishes explicit cookie consent and preference management mechanisms on Snowflake's website. This change establishes documented compliance infrastructure for obtaining and managing visitor consent for non-essential cookies, which is a material requirement under GDPR and UK PECR. Organizations that reference Snowflake's cookie practices or use Snowflake's website may need to verify alignment with their own privacy and data processing documentation.
→ Review the cookie categories disclosed in the privacy preference center when visiting Snowflake's website.
→ Use the 'Cookies Settings' or 'Privacy Preference Center' to adjust your cookie consent preferences for performance, functional, and targeting cookies.
→ Click unsubscribe links in communications to manage email preferences, or use the privacy preference center to adjust consent settings.
→ If you do not adjust cookie preferences, the default settings will apply: strictly necessary cookies will be active, and performance, functional, and targeting cookies will be subject to your banner interaction choice.
→ Targeting cookies set by Snowflake's advertising partners will be used to build interest profiles and display relevant ads on other sites unless you reject or disable them through the preference center.

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
This change adds explicit cookie consent and preference management mechanisms to Snowflake's published Privacy Notice. The addition of a cookie banner with granular consent controls and a privacy preference center reflects compliance with GDPR cookie consent requirements (GDPR Article 7, Recital 32) and ePrivacy Directive obligations in the EU and UK. Organizations using Snowflake's website or services should verify that the cookie consent implementation aligns with their data processing agreements and privacy impact assessments, particularly regarding the legal basis claimed for non-essential cookie categories. No new contractual obligations for Snowflake customers appear to result directly from this change, but website visitors' consent flows have been materially revised.
