ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause establishes a hard prior-consent requirement for non-essential cookies and a continuous right to withdraw, giving users ongoing control over this category of data collection.

Interpretive note: The excerpt does not explicitly state this applies to EEA users; the clause name references EEA but the quoted text does not. The canonical claim incorporates 'EEA users' from the clause name, which is outside the excerpt itself. Confidence reduced accordingly.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Non-essential cookies will not be activated without your explicit consent, and you retain the right to withdraw that consent at any time through the Privacy Settings page.
