SoFi updated its cookie and tracking technology disclosures on May 31, 2026. Previously, the privacy notice stated the company uses pixels and tracking technologies to collect information and shares this with social media, advertising, and analytics partners, with an opt-out option for non-essential cookies. The updated language now provides a Privacy Preference Center that explains how cookies work, describes the types of information collected, and offers granular controls allowing users to block specific cookie categories, though some blocking may impact site functionality.

What this means for you

The updated terms establish a more detailed explanation of how cookies and tracking technologies operate on SoFi's website. Previously, the privacy notice used shorter language that grouped cookie management under a simple opt-out mechanism. The revised policy introduces a Privacy Preference Center with category-based controls (Functional Cookies, and potentially others) and explicitly discloses that blocking certain cookies may impact site functionality or service availability. You can now manage cookie preferences by category rather than accepting or declining all tracking at once.

What you can do

Visit the Privacy Preference Center when prompted or from the privacy settings link

Review each cookie category and toggle categories to disable non-essential tracking

Note which categories impact site functionality before disabling them

Key Clauses Affected

Privacy Preference Center introduction

Added structured, category-based cookie management in place of binary accept/decline model.

Removal of silence-equals-consent language

Eliminated assertion that non-selection constitutes agreement to tracking technologies.

Functional impact disclosure

Added explicit statement that blocking certain cookies may impair site functionality or service availability.
