Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium May 1, 2026

ADP deleted the cookie preference management tool that previously allowed users to understand and control which cookies were placed on their devices, including functional, analytics, and advertising cookies. The removal eliminates the transparency mechanism through which users could consent to or opt out of different cookie categories. The practical effect depends on whether ADP has replaced this functionality elsewhere or whether cookies continue to be placed without equivalent granular user control.
