DeepSeek – Trackers Policy

Dataset: GenGA (Generative AI Governance Archive) — 11 AI services, 2025–present

GenGA (Generative AI Governance Archive) is this wiki’s Generative-AI dataset: raw policy snapshots captured by the Open Terms Archive genai-eu project across 11 GenAI providers (ChatGPT, Claude.ai, DeepSeek, Google Generative AI Services, Le Chat, Llama API, Meta AI, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Qwen Chat, xAI). Unlike PGAv2, GenGA has no pre-tagged risk scores — all risk scoring and keyword tagging on these pages is LLM-assigned by direct reading, spanning 2025–present.

Note: This page contains documented policy clauses. Risk assessment is qualitative and context-dependent. For analysis of patterns across platforms, see:

Note on methodology: No pre-computed risk_score/keyword fields exist for this source. Keyword tags on this page are LLM-assigned. Treat as first-pass analysis, not externally verified ground truth. This wiki’s risk-scoring system was retired project-wide on 2026-06-21 (see methodology.md §4) — no page, GenGA included, computes or displays a numeric risk score.

Overview

1. What the document is: DeepSeek’s Cookie Policy — an itemized cookie table (Necessary/Preference categories), including third-party security vendors (Cloudflare, ishumei — a Chinese risk-control/anti-fraud vendor) and a support vendor (Intercom). Out of scope for this wiki’s AI-training/data-licensing focus.

2. Input rights: Not addressed.

3. Output restrictions: Not addressed.

4. Non-explicit predatory clauses: None found.

5. Regulatory references: None named explicitly in this document.

6. Regional variation: Not addressed in this document, though the inclusion of “ishumei” (a Chinese anti-fraud/device-fingerprinting vendor) alongside Cloudflare is notable given the China-based data processing disclosed in DeepSeek_Privacy_Policy.md.

7. Key risk to users: Low for this wiki’s risk scope. Worth noting only that two of the listed security cookies (.thumbcache_*, smidV2) are attributed to ishumei, a device-fingerprinting/risk-control vendor — a third-party data flow worth being aware of given the broader China-data-residency context.

No AI-training, data-licensing, or output-restriction clauses found — out of scope for this wiki’s core risk categories.

Regulatory & Research Context

Although this Trackers Policy itself carries no AI-training clauses, Davidson et al. (2026) — who directly studied DeepSeek’s Terms of Service — flag jurisdictional clauses as a key “regulatory gray area,” noting that some of DeepSeek’s terms “override their legal jurisdictions regardless of user location.” The ishumei (anti-fraud/device-fingerprinting) cookie disclosed here is a small but concrete data point for that broader jurisdictional concern, since it confirms a China-based vendor’s presence in the tracking stack documented for users covered by this genai-eu capture.

2025-11-11	Baseline version (first capture in this dataset; “Last Update: March 21, 2025”).
2025-12-23	Cookie-list churn: two new “Support”-category cookies added (`__gc_s__`, `__gc_usr__`); `ds_cookie_preference` recategorized from “Preference” to “Support”; cosmetic link-formatting changes throughout (markdown links converted to bare URLs, vendor names de-linked). No change to document structure or purpose.
