DeepL revised its cookie and data collection documentation to add technical identifiers to several Statsig tracking IDs and Zendesk session tokens. The updated policy now specifies that certain local storage entries include hash values and integration IDs, and adds descriptions clarifying the purpose of some previously undescribed data collection points. These changes make the tracking mechanism more technically precise but do not materially alter what data DeepL collects or how it is used.
The updated policy provides more detailed technical documentation of how DeepL tracks user activity through local storage cookies. The changes add specific identifiers and descriptive language clarifying the purpose of data collection points related to feature testing and support tool integration, but do not expand the scope of what data is collected or alter user control mechanisms.
Added hash values and descriptions to tracking IDs used for feature testing and experiment assignment.
