+## How Intel Uses Cookies
+###
+Intel uses various technologies to help improve the efficiency of our websites, including your experience when browsing our sites. These technologies include cookies, clear GIFs, web bugs, and web beacons.
+Our Sites (as defined below) use Cookies and Similar Technologies to ensure that we give our visitors the best possible experience by providing you personalized information, remembering your marketing and product preferences, and helping you obtain the right information. You can find out more about Cookies and Similar Technologies, how we use them, and [how to control them](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/privacy/intel-cookie-notice.html/) below.
+## What is a cookie?
+## Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies
+A cookie is a small file - usually consisting of letters and numbers - placed on your computer, tablet, phone, or similar device, when you use that device to visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
+This Notice describes how Intel, our partners, and our other third parties use Cookies and Similar Technologies (such as pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, JavaScript, and local storage). We will refer to these Cookies and Similar Technologies simply as "Cookies" for the rest of Notice. We will also describe what options you may have regarding those Cookies. This Notice covers Intel's use of Cookies that may be used in connection with the websites (including mobile websites and apps) owned and controlled by Intel (the "Sites").
+## What are cookies used for?
+In some cases, we may use Cookies to collect information that is personally identifiable, or that can become personally identifiable if we combine it with other information. In such cases, the [Intel Online Privacy Notice](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/privacy/intel-online-privacy-notice-summary.html) will apply in addition to this Intel Notice.
+Different types of cookies are used to do different things.
+## What are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
+- **Strictly necessary cookies.** These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website (for example, to enable you to log into secure areas of our website or use a shopping cart).
+- **Analytical/performance cookies.** These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us improve the way our website works (for example, by ensuring that visitors are finding what they are looking for easily).
+- **Functionality cookies.** These are used to recognize you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
+- **Targeting cookies.** These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We use this information to make our website and the content displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
+**Cookies** are small files-usually consisting of letters and numbers-placed on your computer, tablet, phone, or similar device, when you use that device to visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites operate, work more efficiently, and provide analytic information.
+## How long do cookies stay on my device?
+These are the different types of Cookies we and our service providers may use on our Sites:
+Some cookies operate from the time you visit an Intel website to the end of that particular web-browsing session. These cookies expire and are automatically deleted when you close your internet browser. These cookies are called "session" cookies.
+- **Strictly necessary Cookies.** These Cookies are required for the operation of our Sites (for example, to enable you to log into secure areas of our website or use a shopping cart). These Cookies enable you to move around the Sites and use their features. Disabling these Cookies will encumber the Sites' performance and may make the features and service unavailable.
+- **Analytical and performance Cookies.** These Cookies allow us to analyze activities on our Sites and on other sites where we post content in order to improve and optimize the way our Sites work. For example, we may use these types of Cookies to ensure that visitors can easily find the information they are looking for on our websites. One way we do this is to recognize and count the number of visitors and see how they move around our website when they are using it. Analytics cookies also help us measure the performance of our advertising campaigns in order to help us improve our advertising campaigns and to optimize our Sites' content for those who engage with our advertising.
+- **Functionality Cookies.** These Cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our Sites. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
+- **Advertising Cookies.** These Cookies record your online activities, including your visits to our Sites, the pages you have visited, and the links and advertisements you have clicked. One purpose of this is to help make the content displayed on our Sites more relevant to you. Another purpose is to allow us and our service providers to deliver advertisements or other communications to you that are designed to be more relevant to your apparent interests. (When we and our service providers do so, this also involves partners such as publishers, data management platforms, and demand side platforms that help to manage the data). For example, if you look at one page on one of our Sites, we may cause an advertisement to be delivered to you, on our Sites or on other sites, for products referenced on that page or for similar products and services. We and our service providers and partners may also append other data to information collected by these Cookies, including information obtained from third parties, and share this information with third parties for the purpose of delivering ads to you.
+Some cookies will stay on your device between browsing sessions - they do not expire when you close your browser. These cookies are called "persistent" cookies. The length of time a persistent cookie stays on your device varies from cookie to cookie.
+## How does Intel Collect and Use Other Information?
+## Who puts the cookies on my device?
+We and our service providers may use Cookies for a variety of purposes, including to:
+Cookies may be placed on your device by Intel as the website operator. These cookies are called "first party" cookies. Some cookies may be placed on your device by a party other than Intel. These cookies are called "third party" cookies. For example, an Intel partner may place a third party cookie to enable online chat services.
+- Help us and third parties obtain information about your visits to the Sites;
+- Process your orders;
+- Analyze your visiting patterns to improve our Sites;

We will use this combined data for marketing and analytics purposes.
