The layered supplement structure means that the applicable privacy terms for any given user depend on their jurisdiction, and the global policy alone does not constitute a complete disclosure of rights and obligations for users in regulated jurisdictions such as the EU, UK, Canada, or California.
Interpretive note: The content of individual regional supplements is not reproduced in the document text provided; the adequacy of each supplement under applicable local law cannot be assessed from the global policy alone.
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.
