Thank you for your bug report!
There is currently a degradation in Cursor service and the Cursor Team is working on it. This is affecting your ability to save the changes. Sorry about that.
You can see it on top of the forum highlighted.

Cursor Team is working on a bugfix, @Richard_Prandini @jasgar @solodev @JerryBels @ariefrahmansyah in the meantime the privacy change works in Cursor app (Desktop). Go to Cursor Settings > Privacy on the first page.
