Change Summary
Roblox updated its Privacy and Cookie Policy on May 6, 2026, effective April 30, 2026. The updated policy now includes a new 'Effective Date' header and a 'Summary of Recent Changes' section at the beginning of the document. The operational effect is that users are now explicitly notified upfront of the policy's effective date and directed to a summary of what changed, whereas previously the policy opened directly with the welcoming question about users under 13.
