Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
All users

Canva removed cookie consent language from its Terms of Use homepage. The previous version displayed prominent text describing optional cookies for personalization, advertising, and analytics, with explicit 'Accept all cookies' and 'Manage cookies' buttons. The updated terms no longer include this introductory cookie consent interface; instead, the page now begins with a formal notice that the terms are effective as of July 20, 2026. The practical effect is that cookie consent messaging has been relocated or restructured, though Canva's Cookies Policy remains linked in the footer.

What this means for you

The cookie consent interface previously displayed at the top of Canva's Terms of Use page has been removed. The updated page now begins with a formal effective date notice. Canva's separate Cookies Policy remains linked in the footer and continues to govern cookie practices. This change appears to be a restructuring of the homepage layout rather than a substantive change to cookie practices or user consent mechanisms.

Key Clauses Affected

cookie consent interface

Removed prominent cookie consent messaging and acceptance buttons from Terms homepage; cookies policy remains linked in footer.
