The updated Privacy Notice explicitly discloses that SoFi collects user information through cookies, pixels, and other tracking technologies and shares this data with social media, advertising, and analytics partners. Previously, the policy described these practices in more general language. Under the revised terms, continued use of SoFi's website constitutes acceptance of these tracking and data-sharing practices unless the user actively makes selections in the Privacy Preference Center. You can use the preference center to opt out of optional tracking technologies, though strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled.

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.

Medium May 30, 2026

The updated terms establish a more permissive consent model for tracking technologies. Previously, the policy stated that users could 'choose not to allow some types of cookies' (opt-in structure). The revised language now states 'If you do not make a selection, you agree to our use of these technologies' (opt-out structure). This means that continued use of the website without affirmative rejection constitutes acceptance of cookies, pixels, and data sharing with advertising and analytics partners. The updated terms also explicitly disclose that SoFi shares collected information with 'social media, advertising, and analytics partners,' providing more specificity about data sharing destinations. You can decline the Privacy Preference Center or decline all optional tracking technologies through the updated preference settings.
