Change Summary
TurboTax updated its cookie and tracking technology disclosure on May 29, 2026, restructuring how it describes advertising practices. The previous version explained that TurboTax and advertising partners use cookies to deliver relevant ads, mentioned that information like IP addresses and device identifiers may be shared with partners, and provided an explicit opt-out mechanism by toggling preferences and clicking 'Save My Choices'. The updated version removes the specific mention of IP address and device identifier sharing with advertising partners, removes the explicit opt-out toggle mechanism, and replaces detailed explanatory language with a more generic description that cookies help prevent ad repetition and select interest-based ads. The practical effect is that users no longer have a documented opt-out procedure within the privacy statement itself.
