Visa publishes a separate Cookie Notice disclosing its practices regarding cookies, tags, and similar online data collection technologies.
This analysis describes what Visa'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 Notice governs Visa's use of cookies, tags, and similar tracking technologies, which may collect identifiers, browsing activity, and device information; the applicable consent and opt-out mechanisms for these technologies are addressed in that separate notice rather than in the Global Privacy Notice.
Interpretive note: The specific cookie categories, retention periods, third-party sharing arrangements, and consent or opt-out mechanisms are not contained in this document and require review of the separate Cookie Notice.
Under this provision, users seeking to understand or manage Visa's use of cookies and tracking technologies must consult the separate Cookie Notice, which addresses the categories of online data collected, the purposes for which they are used, and any available opt-out or consent controls.

"We also have a Cookie Notice that explains our practices with regard to cookies, tags and similar types of online data that we collect.Excerpt from Visa's Privacy Notice
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Cookie and tracking technology practices engage the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR for EEA users, the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations for UK users, CCPA/CPRA opt-out rights for California residents, and equivalent frameworks in other jurisdictions. Enforcement authorities include EU data protection supervisory authorities, the UK ICO, and the California Privacy Protection Agency. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Cookie consent mechanisms are a frequent focus of regulatory enforcement in the EEA and UK; non-compliant consent banners or inadequate opt-out mechanisms have resulted in enforcement actions across multiple EU member states. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EEA, UK, and California create the highest exposure. The CPRA established a right to opt out of the sharing of personal information collected through tracking technologies for advertising purposes; compliance requires both a compliant Cookie Notice and a functioning opt-out mechanism. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations embedding Visa payment widgets or APIs on their platforms should assess whether Visa's cookies are deployed on their properties and whether their own cookie notices and consent mechanisms account for Visa's tracking technologies. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should review the Cookie Notice for completeness of disclosure regarding cookie categories, retention periods, third-party recipients, and consent or opt-out mechanisms, and verify consistency with applicable ePrivacy and state privacy law requirements.
