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'. The updated policy contains no equivalent disclosure of these tracking practices, data collection methods, or consent options. You can review NVIDIA's full Privacy Policy at their Privacy Center, though the updated version no longer describes cookie and tracking technology practices that were previously disclosed.
