Elsewhere, Anysphere may set optional cookies where the law allows, with opt-out "using the same routes"

For people outside the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area and Switzerland, Anysphere says it may set optional cookies where the law allows it to, and that you can opt out at any time "using the same routes". Earlier text does not name routes, so what the phrase refers to is unclear. The nearest described choices are the notice shown on a first visit, and browser controls.

Data Access & Collection · Context

The cookie lists give each cookie a one-word purpose that does not map to the three non-essential categories

Both cookie tables have the columns Source, Cookie name, Domain and Purpose. The purpose labels in the essential table are Functional, Security, Authentication, Localization, Load Balancing and Payments. The non-essential table uses Advertising, Analytics, Functional, Marketing and Authentication. The earlier text names the non-essential groups as functional, performance and targeting cookies, and says non-essential cookies can be enabled or disabled and that targeting cookies are used with advertising partners. The table labels never use "Performance" or "Targeting", so the policy does not say which listed cookies belong to which group.

You can enable or disable them at any time.
Targeting Cookies – used by us and our partners to track the effectiveness of specific ads on third-party properties

Qualifications & exceptions

  • Each table row carries one purpose label.

Not stated here

  • Which listed cookies are functional, performance or targeting cookies is not stated; a reader can only infer it from the labels, and the policy does not make that mapping.
  • The policy does not say what each cookie stores or how long it lasts; the lists give only source, name, domain and a one-word purpose.
