The continued-use consent mechanism for policy updates is standard in platform privacy policies but may require evaluation against GDPR requirements in EU and UK contexts, where material changes to data processing may require renewed consent rather than constructive acceptance through continued use.
Interpretive note: Whether continued-use acknowledgment satisfies GDPR requirements for consent to material changes in processing purposes or legal bases is a legal question that depends on the nature of the specific change and applicable supervisory authority guidance.
The updated footer no longer includes a direct link to the 'Do not Sell or Share My Personal Data' page. Previously, this link provided quick access to California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) opt-out controls from the footer menu. Users can likely still access these controls through the main Privacy Policy page or dedicated privacy settings, but the removal eliminates a prominent, footer-based navigation shortcut. You should verify whether this opt-out functionality remains accessible through other menu locations or settings.
