What changed
Dun & Bradstreet's privacy policy was updated in an update detected on July 14, 2026, with changes to website contact and cookie functionality sections. The document removed detailed cookie preference options and chat functionality disclosures that were previously displayed, and simplified language around contact forms and chat requirements. The practical effect is that users now encounter a streamlined contact and cookie interface, though the specific mechanics of what cookies are collected and how chat is enabled may have changed.
Why this matters
The updated privacy policy removed explicit language describing how users can manage cookie preferences and enable chat functionality. Previously, the policy stated that users could click 'Manage Choices' to enable or disable specific cookies including 'Chat' cookies. The revised version no longer includes these detailed preference options in the displayed policy language. The terms now indicate that chat functionality requires accepting 'Chat Cookies,' but the granular control mechanisms previously described have been removed from the public policy disclosure.
