The updated Terms and Conditions remove inline cookie consent disclosures, preference toggles, and opt-out mechanisms that were previously embedded in the document. Users are now directed to a separate privacy policy for information about cookies, tracking technologies, data sharing with advertising and analytics partners, and opt-out options. The removal of the inline Cookie Preference Center and Global Privacy Control documentation means these controls are no longer described within the terms themselves, though Ford states they remain available through the redirected privacy policy.

Even if you disable tracking, keep in mind that you may still receive interest-based advertising, including from third parties with whom your information had been previously disclosed.
when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements through one of these programs, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on our services.
Ads for products intended for a limited audience should only be targeted to that audience. For example, if a credit card offer is limited to individuals over the age of 18, the offer's ad campaign must be age targeted to 18+.
