Intuit's updated privacy statement now explicitly discloses that it shares limited personal information, such as IP addresses and device identifiers, with advertising partners to deliver targeted ads both on and off its sites. The company characterizes these practices as potentially constituting 'sharing' or 'targeted advertising' under applicable law, suggesting recognition of privacy regulations like CCPA or GDPR. You can decline the use of third-party advertising cookies by selecting the 'Customize Settings' option in the cookie consent interface.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC as amended) and UK PECR requiring prior informed consent for non-essential cookies; GDPR Art. 6 and Recital 47 for behavioral advertising cookies; CCPA/CPRA which treats cookie-based advertising tracking as a 'sale' or 'share' of personal information requiring opt-out rights; and FTC guidance on online tracking and behavioral advertising (2012 Privacy Report and 2023 commercial surveillance rulemaking). Enforcement authorities include EU DPAs (particularly France's CNIL which has issued major cookie consent fines), the ICO in the UK, and the FTC domestically.
