What it is

The policy states that Writer may update the Privacy Policy at any time by posting a revised version on its website, and that continued use of the services constitutes confirmation that the user has read and understood the updated policy.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision treats continued service use as affirmative acknowledgment of any updated policy terms. Users are not guaranteed active notification of changes beyond the posting of an updated version on the website, except where applicable law requires another form of notice.

Interpretive note: Whether posting alone constitutes adequate notice for material changes to processing under GDPR depends on the nature of the change and applicable regulatory guidance; jurisdiction-specific requirements may impose additional notification obligations.

The updated policy removes detailed disclosures that previously explained five cookie categories (strictly necessary, functional, performance, targeting), their purposes, and user controls. The revised policy retains only a brief statement that Writer uses cookies to enhance navigation, analyze usage, personalize experience, and assist in advertising, but no longer provides the granular categories, opt-out procedures, or explanation of what data each type collects. Users can no longer reference specific cookie management options, targeting cookie opt-out procedures, or detailed functional descriptions within the policy itself.

Under this clause, updated privacy policy terms take effect upon posting, and continued use of Writer's services is treated as confirmation of acceptance of the revised terms. Users who do not proactively review the policy may not receive direct notification of changes unless applicable law requires it.
