SoFi updated its Privacy Notice on June 2, 2026, modifying the cookie consent and tracking technology disclosure section. The previous version described cookie functionality in general terms; the updated version explicitly discloses use of pixels and tracking technologies shared with social media, advertising, and analytics partners, and restructures the consent interface to separate strictly necessary cookies (non-optional) from optional cookies (performance and targeting). The revised language requires affirmative consent for non-essential tracking, whereas the prior version framed cookies as opt-out.

1 obligation expanded

Consumers: You must now actively choose to allow performance and targeting cookies; they no longer activate unless you opt in.

What this means for you

The updated privacy notice explicitly discloses that SoFi uses pixels and tracking technologies to collect information about your actions and preferences, and shares this data with social media, advertising, and analytics partners. The revised consent interface distinguishes between strictly necessary cookies (which cannot be disabled) and optional cookies for performance and targeting purposes (which require affirmative consent). The terms state that if you do not make a selection, you agree to use of these technologies; you can opt out by toggling the button that appears to the right of each optional cookie category.

What you can do

Review your cookie preferences by accessing the Privacy Preference Center on the SoFi website

Toggle the button to the right of optional cookie categories (Performance and Targeting) to opt out of non-essential tracking
