SoFi restructured its cookie consent interface and disclosure language. The updated terms replace a simpler opt-out model with a more detailed cookie preference center that categorizes cookies by function (Strictly Necessary, Functional, Performance, Targeting) and explains their purpose. The new language emphasizes user choice and describes how different cookie types affect site functionality, whereas the prior version stated that non-selection constituted agreement to all tracking technologies.

The revised language describes what Strictly Necessary, Functional, Performance, and Targeting cookies do, and notes that blocking certain cookie types may affect site functionality. You can use the preference center to allow or decline optional cookie categories, though Strictly Necessary Cookies remain always active.

Previous text
The updated terms replace a single consent model with categorized cookie disclosure and granular controls. Previously, SoFi stated that non-selection constituted agreement to tracking technology use and that information was shared with social media, advertising, and analytics partners. The revised language now describes strictly necessary cookies as non-optional and explains that functional and performance cookies can be disabled, though doing so may affect site services. You can now toggle individual cookie categories to prevent their use.

Previous text
SoFi replaced its previous cookie and tracking technology disclosure with a more detailed cookie consent interface that explains how different cookie types function. The prior language stated that SoFi shares collected information with social media, advertising, and analytics partners and that non-selection constitutes consent to tracking. The updated disclosure describes cookie categories separately (functional, performance, strictly necessary), explains what each does, and states that users can choose not to allow some cookie types, though blocking them may affect site functionality.
