This provision establishes a tiered cookie consent mechanism for EEA/EU and UK users, distinguishing between strictly necessary cookies and non-essential cookies requiring affirmative consent. The policy states that cookie consent is also treated as consent to the processing and disclosure of all Personal Information collected through cookies, which compliance teams may wish to evaluate against GDPR's consent specificity requirements.
Interpretive note: Whether the described cookie consent mechanism satisfies GDPR's specificity and granularity requirements depends on implementation details not fully described in the policy, including whether per-category granular consent is technically enforced.
The updated policy modifies the language governing notification of Personal Information disclosure. The prior version stated that Rumble 'will attempt to notify you before we disclose your Personal Information,' whereas the revised language states the company 'may attempt to notify you.' This shifts the provision from an asserted commitment to attempt notification toward a discretionary authorization to do so when permitted by law. Under the revised terms, notification attempts are now framed as optional rather than intended.
