ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This establishes both a consent requirement before non-essential cookies are deployed and an ongoing user right to revoke that consent, creating a continuous user control mechanism.

Interpretive note: The excerpt does not itself specify that this requirement is limited to EEA users; the EEA scope appears in the clause name only. Confidence is medium because the geographic limitation cannot be confirmed from the excerpt text alone. The canonical claim merges two closely related propositions (consent required; consent withdrawable) because they govern the same mechanism; the withdrawal right is also noted in omitted_material.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

High Apr 21, 2026

The updated privacy policy removed language describing how Midjourney shares personal data, the security measures protecting that data, children's privacy safeguards, procedures for notifying users of policy changes, and links to related policies. Users no longer have explicit disclosure of these practices within the privacy policy itself. The removal of language on how policy changes are communicated may mean users have less notice of future privacy modifications than previously stated.
