Snowflake's Privacy Notice webpage was significantly restructured in an update detected on July 26, 2026. The change removed approximately 26 sentences of cookie consent and preference language, including detailed explanations of cookie categories (strictly necessary, performance, functional, targeting), cookie consent banners, and privacy preference center controls. The updated page now contains only 13 sentences and appears to have shifted to a simpler footer-based legal navigation structure without the interactive cookie management interface previously described.
Consumers: Users can no longer access granular cookie preference controls or detailed explanations of cookie types through the privacy notice.
The updated privacy notice removes the interactive cookie consent interface and detailed descriptions of cookie types (strictly necessary, performance, functional, targeting cookies). Previously, the page displayed granular cookie category explanations, a privacy preference center, and explicit options to accept, reject, or customize cookie settings. The revised language no longer includes these interactive controls or detailed category disclosures. Users can no longer access the same level of cookie preference configuration through the notice itself, and the simplified footer-based structure appears to have reduced transparency regarding cookie purposes and user control options.
