MINOR
FIRST SEEN 2026-09-25 · VERSION 20260925_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260815_rev01

What changed, in plain language

How reviews are made

Ookla updated two hyperlinks in its Privacy Policy: the link to its Cookie Policy now points to an Accenture domain instead of Ookla's own speedtest.net site, and the link to the Simplified Chinese translation was moved from speedtest.net to ookla.com. No policy text describing data practices, sharing, retention, or your rights was changed.

Changes that may affect you

Cookie preference link now points to a third-party (Accenture) websiteMINOR
OTHER

The page you'd visit to learn about and manage cookie tracking is now hosted on an Accenture web address rather than an Ookla-owned site. The policy still says it applies to Ookla's cookie use, but it's unusual for a company's own cookie controls to live on an outside consulting firm's domain. This doesn't change what data is collected, but you should make sure the link is legitimate before entering any preferences there.

“please see our [Cookie Policy](https://www.accenture.com/en/support/company-cookies-similar-technology)”

What you can do — Before managing cookie preferences via this link, verify it's an official, secure page and not a broken or redirected link before entering any settings.

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDCookie Policy link now hosted on Accenture's domain

    The link you click to read Ookla's Cookie Policy and manage your cookie preferences now goes to a page on accenture.com instead of Ookla's own speedtest.net site. The surrounding text still says this covers cookie use for Ookla businesses.

  2. ± CHANGEDChinese translation link moved to ookla.com

    The link to the Simplified Chinese translation of this Privacy Policy now points to ookla.com instead of speedtest.net. This appears to be a housekeeping change to where the translated document is hosted.
