Previously, Shein asked users to explicitly agree or disagree with account persistence for future logins. The updated terms remove this choice entirely. Instead of a consent decision, users now see a promotional discount offer in that location. This means users lose direct control over whether Shein maintains their login session across device visits, which affects convenience and privacy preferences around authentication persistence.
