Get to Know Yahoo’s Cookie Policy and Your Privacy Options

April 5, 2025

Hey there! Navigating the world of cookies and privacy settings can be a bit overwhelming, but I’m here to help you make sense of it all. Yahoo, along with its family of brands like AOL and Yahoo Advertising, uses cookies and similar technologies to make your experience on their sites and apps better. These little tools do a lot, like helping with user authentication, keeping things secure, and even preventing spam and abuse.

You’ve got the power to decide how your data is used. Whether you want to accept or reject cookies for personalized ads, content, geolocation data, or other personal information like your IP address and browsing history, it’s all up to you. If you decide to go ahead and accept, Yahoo and its partners—238 companies strong, thanks to the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework—will use this data to learn more about audiences and develop their services.

Prefer to keep a lid on data usage? No problem. Yahoo offers options to manage your privacy settings. You can change your preferences or withdraw consent anytime through the ‘Privacy & cookie settings’ or ‘Privacy dashboard’ links on Yahoo’s platforms.

For a deeper dive into how Yahoo handles cookies and your privacy, take a look at their privacy and cookie policies. It’s always a good idea to stay informed about how your data is being used.
