ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Interest-based advertising cookies involve sharing your behavioral data with third-party advertising networks, which represents a form of data sharing that may constitute a sale or sharing under CCPA and requires consent under GDPR's ePrivacy requirements.

Interpretive note: The specific third-party advertising partners and cookie categories are described in a separate Cookie Policy not fully available in the provided document, creating some uncertainty about the full scope of data sharing.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Synthesia uses tracking technologies including advertising cookies that may share your browsing behavior with third-party ad networks; you can manage these preferences through the cookie consent mechanism on the website.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Visit synthesia.io and use the cookie consent management tool (typically accessible via a cookie settings link in the website footer) to review and withdraw consent for non-essential and advertising cookies.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Cookie use for interest-based advertising engages the EU ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law) as implemented in member state law, requiring prior informed consent for non-essential cookies. GDPR applies to the personal data collected via cookies. Under CCPA and CPRA, sharing personal data via cookies with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute a sale or share, requiring an opt-out mechanism and the posting of a Do Not Sell or Share link. The FTC has authority over deceptive cookie consent practices. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Interest-based advertising via cookies is a standard practice across SaaS platforms but has been the subject of significant EU regulatory enforcement. The adequacy of the consent mechanism (cookie banner) and whether it meets the GDPR standard of freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent is a common compliance gap. California's CPRA requires a clear opt-out for sharing via cookies with advertising partners. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA users are most affected due to consent requirements under ePrivacy and GDPR. California residents have CPRA opt-out rights for cookie-based sharing. UK users are governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. Organizations deploying Synthesia in regulated environments should confirm that employee use of the platform does not result in unintended cookie-based data collection. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should review whether the cookie consent mechanism on Synthesia's platform applies to their employees' sessions and whether any third-party advertising data collection occurs during enterprise use of the platform. If Synthesia is accessed via embedded iframes or APIs, the cookie consent chain should be verified. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should review the Cookie Policy for a current list of third-party cookie partners and verify that consent records are maintained. CPRA compliance requires confirming that a Do Not Sell or Share mechanism is functional and honored. Annual audits of cookie categories and third-party sharing relationships are advisable.
