Policy covers cookies, pixels and similar technologies used by Anthropic and partners

Terms the policy leaves undefined take their meaning from Anthropic’s Privacy Policy, which the policy says also contains additional details about collection and use at Anthropic. The Privacy Policy is linked but is not part of this supplied document, so its definitions are not reproduced here.

Browser settings can manage cookies, and disabling all may limit the Services
The policy says most browsers let users remove or manage cookie functions and adjust privacy and security preferences, pointing to the browser’s help menu and an external control-cookies page. It notes that differences between websites and other technologies may require additional opt-out steps, and warns that disabling all cookies may mean the user cannot take full advantage of the Services.

Cross-references
contrast (model-proposed): Anthropic does not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals — contrast: The policy points users to browser settings to manage cookies and privacy preferences, yet states that it currently does not respond to the browser Do Not Track signal. The two provisions pull in different directions: browser-level control is offered as the ordinary route, while one browser-level signal is expressly not honoured. This is a tension in the text, not a finding that either statement is unlawful.
qualifies (model-proposed): Necessary cookies are described as needed to use the Services — qualifies: The warning that disabling all cookies may prevent full use of the Services is explained by the Necessary row: those cookies are described as necessary to use the Services. Browser controls therefore operate against a stated functional floor rather than a purely optional set of cookies.
