Intuit removed detailed cookie consent messaging and opt-out mechanisms from its privacy policy footer on May 21, 2026. Previously, the policy provided explicit language explaining how users could decline third-party advertising cookies, customize settings, and manage consent preferences. The updated footer now contains only minimal reference to cookie management without the prior disclosure of advertising partner data sharing or detailed opt-out instructions.
The updated privacy policy removes prior explicit disclosures about third-party advertising cookies and opt-out mechanisms that were previously available to users. Specifically, the policy no longer states that users can decline third-party advertising cookies through a 'Customize Settings' option, nor does it describe how advertising partners may receive limited personal information like IP addresses and device identifiers for ad targeting. The footer now contains only a general reference to cookie management without the prior transparency on advertising partner data sharing. You can review Intuit's full Cookies Policy for current information on how cookies and advertising technologies are used.
The updated privacy policy removes prior explicit disclosures about third-party advertising cookie use and user opt-out mechanisms, reducing transparency about how advertising partners access consumer data. This change affects how users understand what data flows to advertising partners and what control mechanisms are available, and may implicate regulatory expectations regarding transparency in tracking technology disclosures.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
The privacy policy no longer states how users can opt out of third-party advertising cookies or customize cookie consent.
The privacy policy no longer explicitly explains what data is shared with advertising partners or for what purpose.
Intuit removed approximately 12 sentences of cookie consent disclosure and opt-out language from its privacy policy footer on May 21, 2026. The removed language previously described third-party advertising cookie use, data sharing with advertising partners (including IP addresses and device identifiers), and provided explicit opt-out pathways. The updated footer retains a reference to 'Manage cookies' but provides no accompanying explanation of advertising partner involvement, consent options, or data-sharing practices that were previously disclosed. This change may implicate FTC expectations regarding transparency in cookie and tracking technology disclosures under the FTC Act Section 5, particularly regarding unfair or deceptive practices in advertising technology disclosures. Organizations using Intuit platforms should evaluate whether this streamlined disclosure remains consistent with their own privacy notices, vendor contracts, and compliance obligations regarding third-party tracking disclosures.
FTC Act Section 5 (deceptive practices); GDPR Articles 7, 13, 14 (consent and transparency); CCPA Section 1798.100 (disclosure requirements); potential state privacy law transparency requirements.
