The updated privacy policy no longer explicitly discloses that Canva uses cookies to personalize ads, analyze website performance, or tailor content on partner sites. Previously, the policy stated these purposes and directed users to the cookie policy for more information and choice. The revised policy now mentions only that essential cookies are used to make Canva work. This change removes transparency about non-essential cookie uses and eliminates the cookie consent interface (Accept all cookies / Manage cookies buttons) that was previously presented in the privacy policy document itself.
View change record →The updated privacy policy no longer includes explicit language describing Canva's use of non-essential cookies for personalization, advertising tailoring, and website analytics. Previously, the policy stated that Canva would use these cookies only if users accepted. The removal of this disclosure means the policy no longer clearly explains these cookie categories or presents a consent interaction for non-essential cookies at the point where this information was previously disclosed. Depending on applicable cookie law and Canva's implementation, users may need to consult additional documentation such as a separate cookie policy to understand how non-essential cookies are managed.
View change record →The updated privacy policy no longer explicitly discloses optional cookie uses or provides cookie preference controls on the privacy policy page itself. Previously, Canva stated it would use non-essential cookies for personalization, ad targeting, and analytics only if users accepted, and offered 'Accept all cookies' and 'Manage cookies' options. The removal of this disclosure and consent mechanism may affect how users understand cookie practices and when consent is obtained. Users who previously accessed cookie preferences through the privacy policy will need to locate these controls elsewhere on the Canva platform if they remain available.
