Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Costco reformatted this opt-out page's layout and updated an internal link URL, but in the process broke the hyperlink to its cookie settings tool, leaving a sentence that points to no tool at all. No substantive policy change occurred, but consumers trying to limit digital tracking from this page currently have no way to reach the tool.
Link to cookie settings tool is broken
Costco removed the hyperlink and label that used to let you click through to the 'cookie settings tool' for limiting digital tracking. The sentence on the page now just says 'using our .' with nothing to click, so you currently cannot use this page to find or adjust those settings.
“by using our .”
What you can do — Don't rely on this link. Look for Costco's cookie/privacy preference settings elsewhere on costco.com (often in the site footer) to limit digital tracking until this link is fixed.
