This provision establishes a bifurcated consent architecture in which browser-level and account-level personal data are governed by separate opt-out mechanisms. Compliance teams should evaluate whether this structure provides users with sufficiently clear and accessible control over all categories of personal data Spotify processes for advertising purposes, particularly under GDPR transparency and CPRA opt-out requirements.
