The updated terms no longer disclose how cookie preferences operate or explain the chat functionality's privacy requirements. Previously, the terms explicitly stated that users could choose 'Agree and Proceed' to accept all cookies, 'Required Only' to disable non-essential cookies, or 'Manage Choices' to customize cookie settings. This language has been removed. The change also affects how copyright infringement notices should be submitted, shifting the email address for such notices. Under the revised terms, users cannot reference the removed cookie preference and chat functionality disclosures as binding commitments.

The updated Terms of Use no longer include explicit language describing cookie preferences, consent options (Agree and Proceed, Required Only, Manage Choices), or chat functionality data collection requirements. Previously, the document stated that users could manage cookies or enable chat functionality through specific settings. This removal means users navigating the website will not find these disclosures in the Terms of Use itself, though cookie and chat functionality may continue to operate according to the Cookie Policy, which remains referenced separately.
