Affected users
All users EU users California residents

SoFi revised its cookie and tracking technology disclosure on June 12, 2026. The previous terms stated that SoFi uses pixels and tracking technologies to collect information and shares this data with social media, advertising, and analytics partners, with a default opt-in unless users decline. The updated terms now present a detailed Privacy Preference Center that explains how cookies function, establishes functional cookies as requiring explicit permission, describes the specific purposes of data collection, and allows users to manage cookie categories individually rather than accepting all tracking by default.

Consumers: Instead of automatic enrollment in all tracking, you now choose which types of cookies to allow

Consumers: The policy now explains what functional cookies do and that they require your choice to be active

Consumers: You no longer automatically consent to all tracking by failing to change the default setting

What this means for you

The updated terms establish a Privacy Preference Center that provides granular cookie controls rather than requiring blanket acceptance of all tracking technologies. Previously, SoFi stated that users who did not make a selection agreed to all tracking uses; the revised terms now require users to affirmatively allow functional cookies and other tracking categories. The updated language explicitly describes that functional cookies enable enhanced site functionality and personalization, and that blocking certain cookies may impact site experience. You can now toggle cookie categories on or off individually rather than accepting or declining all tracking as a single choice.

What you can do

Review the Privacy Preference Center when visiting SoFi.com to select which cookie categories to allow

Toggle off any optional cookie categories (e.g. advertising, analytics) if you do not wish to enable those tracking mechanisms
