This provision establishes the operational scope of data collection mechanisms used across the TurboTax service ecosystem. It defines the categories of tracking technologies deployed and specifies authorized purposes including personalization and advertising delivery, while creating a mechanism for users to exercise control over cookie settings.
The updated privacy statement no longer describes a specific opt-out procedure for advertising cookies that was previously available. The prior version stated users could 'opt out of having your personal information used or disclosed for these purposes by sliding the toggle to No and clicking Save My Choices', but this mechanism and accompanying language are no longer present in the updated disclosure. The updated terms also no longer explicitly state that IP addresses and device identifiers may be shared with advertising partners, removing prior transparency about what data types are disclosed. You should review TurboTax's main Privacy Policy to determine if opt-out mechanisms exist elsewhere or what the current data-sharing practices are.
View change record →The updated terms now explicitly state that TurboTax and its advertising partners use cookies and tracking technologies to deliver targeted advertising on and off TurboTax sites. The policy discloses that IP addresses and device identifiers may be shared with advertising partners to show you more relevant ads, and states these practices may be considered 'targeted advertising' or 'sharing' of personal information under applicable law. You can decline third-party advertising cookies by going to 'Customize Settings,' though essential website cookies required for site functionality cannot be refused.
View change record →Users operate under terms that authorize collection of usage data through multiple tracking technologies by both TurboTax and third-party partners for purposes of service personalization and advertising delivery. The clause provides users with a cookie consent tool to configure tracking preferences, establishing user control as a procedural mechanism within the stated data collection framework.
