The updated Privacy Policy removes all disclosure language about how NVIDIA and third-party partners use cookies and other tracking technologies. Previously, the policy stated that cookies were used 'to collect and record information' for 'performance improvement, analytics, and to assist in our marketing efforts' and described consent mechanisms like 'Accept All' and 'Manage Settings'.
