SoFi updated its Privacy Notice on April 23, 2026, changing how it describes its use of tracking technologies. The policy now explicitly states that pixels and other tracking tools are used to collect your information and actions, and that this data is shared with social media, advertising, and analytics partners. The updated wording also clarifies that by not making a choice, you are agreeing to the use of these technologies — which is a meaningful shift from the previous opt-out framing.
SoFi's updated privacy notice now explicitly states that pixels and tracking technologies are used to collect your actions on their site and that this data is shared with social media, advertising, and analytics partners. Crucially, the new language states that if you do not make a selection, you are agreeing to the use of these technologies — meaning inaction now implies consent. You can opt out by visiting SoFi's Privacy Preference Center and toggling off non-essential cookie and tracking categories.
If you visit SoFi's site and don't change your cookie settings, you are automatically agreeing to being tracked and having your data shared with advertisers.
SoFi is now openly stating it uses pixels (not just cookies) to track what you do on their site.

SoFi revised its cookie/tracking consent interface on April 23, 2026 to explicitly name pixel-based tracking and data sharing with advertising and social media partners, and introduced a 'silence equals consent' default. This touches GDPR Art. 4(11) and Art. 7 (valid consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous — pre-ticked boxes or inaction do not satisfy this standard), CCPA/CPRA Cal. Civ. Code §1798.120 (right to opt out of sale/sharing), and FTC Act Section 5 (deceptive practices). The silence-as-consent framing is a known regulatory pressure point in both EU and California enforcement. Compliance teams should assess whether the consent mechanism meets applicable standards and whether the vendor list for pixel/tracking partners is current and documented.
1. GDPR Art. 4(11) & Art. 7 — Valid consent requires a clear affirmative act; silence, pre-ticked boxes, or inactivity do not constitute consent (confirmed in CJEU Planet49 ruling, C-673/17). The 'if you do not make a selection, you agree' language is directly contrary to this standard for EU-accessible services.
