Snowflake publishes a separate Cookie Statement and provides a 'Cookie Settings' link in the page footer, indicating that a consent management mechanism for cookies and similar tracking technologies is available to website visitors.
This analysis describes what Snowflake's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The Cookie Statement and Cookie Settings mechanism establish the operative framework for Snowflake's use of cookies and similar tracking technologies on its website. The availability of a Cookie Settings interface indicates that users may be able to modify consent choices for non-essential cookies.
Interpretive note: The operative adequacy of the cookie consent mechanism depends on implementation details disclosed in the Cookie Statement, which is not reproduced on this index page.
The updated Privacy Notice no longer includes explicit language stating that users 'may unsubscribe through unsubscribe links at any time.' This removal means the document no longer contains that specific commitment to unsubscribe availability. The updated terms still reference a Privacy Notice governing data processing and retain cookie-related disclosures, but the removal of the unsubscribe guarantee eliminates a documented mechanism users may have relied on. You can review the full Privacy Notice to understand current communication and preference management options.

"Cookie Statement ... Cookie SettingsExcerpt from Snowflake's Privacy Notice
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Cookie consent mechanisms engage the EU ePrivacy Directive (as implemented by EU member states), the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, GDPR (where cookie data constitutes personal data), and CCPA/CPRA (where cookie data is used for targeted advertising or sold). Enforcement authorities include EU member state data protection authorities, the UK ICO, and the California Privacy Protection Agency. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The operative adequacy of the cookie consent mechanism depends on the specific implementation details disclosed in the Cookie Statement, which is not reproduced on this index page. A consent mechanism that does not meet the GDPR standard of freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent, or that pre-ticks consent boxes, may create compliance exposure. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK website visitors face the most direct regulatory interest in this provision. California residents may have additional rights under the CPRA with respect to cookies used for cross-context behavioral advertising, addressed through the separate 'Do Not Share My Personal Information' opt-out mechanism. Organizations deploying Snowflake website integrations or tracking pixels should assess whether their use of Snowflake's website tracking affects their own cookie consent obligations. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations that embed Snowflake tracking or analytics on their own properties should assess whether the Snowflake Cookie Statement addresses their obligations or whether separate consent management is required. This is particularly relevant for Snowflake Marketplace participants or developer API users who may integrate Snowflake-provided code. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal and compliance teams should obtain and review the Cookie Statement to confirm the categories, purposes, and durations of cookies used. The Cookie Settings interface should be tested to confirm that non-essential cookie categories can be declined prior to activation and that preferences are honored across sessions.
