 ### **Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies**
 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 web sites (including mobile web sites and apps) owned and controlled by Intel (the "Sites").
 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 Privacy Notice](https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/privacy/intel-privacy-notice.html) will apply in addition to this Intel Notice.
+### **What are Cookies and Similar Technologies?**
+### **What are Cookies?**
 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 web site. Cookies are widely used by web site owners to make their web sites operate, work more efficiently, and provide analytic information.
 These are the different types of Cookies we and our service providers may use on our Sites:
 - **Essential Cookies.** These Cookies are required for the operation of our Sites (for example, to enable you to log into secure areas of our web site 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.
 - Provide a safe and secure service for online transactions;
 - Measure how many people use our Sites, and how they use them, to keep our Sites running efficiently and to better understand our Sites' audiences.
 - If you register on one of our Sites, or otherwise provide us with your personal information, we may associate that information with other information we collect from or about you or that you provide, information regarding your use of our Sites, or information we receive from or about you from third parties. We will use this combined data for marketing and analytics purposes.
 ### **How Long do Cookies Stay on My Device?**
+Other Cookies operate from the time you visit an Intel service 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.
+Some Cookies operate from the time you visit an Intel service 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.
 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. We and others use persistent Cookies for a variety of purposes, such as to store your preferences so that they are available for the next visit, and to keep a more accurate account of how often you visit our Sites, how often you return, how your use of the Sites may vary over time, and the effectiveness of advertising efforts.
 ### **Who Puts the Cookies on My Device?**
 Cookies may be placed on your device by Intel as the Site 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.
+Cookies may also be used that allow us and third parties to know when you visit our Sites, and to understand how you interact with e-mails, advertisements, or other content. Through Cookies, aggregate and other information not identifying individual users (such as your operating system, browser version, and the URL you came from, including from e-mails and advertisements) may be obtained and used to enhance your experience and understand traffic patterns. This technology counts the number of users who visit a particular service from specific banner advertisements outside the Intel Site or who clicked on links or graphics included in e-mail newsletters received from Intel. It is also used as a tool to compile aggregated statistics about how Intel Sites are used, to perform analytics and help us to optimize our Sites, and to help serve you advertising based on your interests, as described in further detail below.

 ### **How does Intel Use Online and Mobile Advertising?**
 We and third parties, including technology partners, and service providers engage in interest-based advertising to deliver advertisements and personalized content that we and other advertisers believe will be of interest to you. To the extent third party vendors are using Cookies to perform these services for Intel or others, Intel does not control the use of this technology or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
 Ads may be delivered to you based on your online or mobile behavior (on Intel Sites and non-Intel sites), your search activity, your responses to one of our advertisements or e-mails, the pages you visit, your general geographic location, or other information. These ads may appear on our Sites or on third party web sites. The technology partners with whom we work to help us conduct interest-based advertising may be members of self-regulatory associations such as the [Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)](http://www.networkadvertising.org/) and the [Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)](http://www.aboutads.info/). For Sites directed at persons located in the European Union, we may work with technology partners who are members of the [European Digital Advertising Alliance (eDAA)](http://www.youronlinechoices.com/). You may also see advertisements for third parties on Intel Sites or other web sites or properties, based on your visits to, and activities on, Intel Sites and other sites.
 We participate in the Adobe Marketing Cloud Device Co-op to understand how you use our website and apps across different devices you use, in order to deliver advertising based on your interests. You can learn more about how Adobe does this, and how to opt-out, at [https://cross-device-privacy.adobe.com/](https://cross-device-privacy.adobe.com/).

(A browser plug-in is a piece of software which adds extra capabilities to your browser-for example, to play video or scan for viruses.). Adobe Flash Player\* is software for viewing multimedia on a computer. Web sites that use Adobe Flash\* may store flash cookies on user's devices to remember settings, preferences, and usage similar to other types of Cookies. These flash Cookies may also be known as Flash Local Shared Objects (LSOs). Intel may use Flash LSOs to provide special content, such as video and animation playback. You can find a good summary of how to manage Flash LSOs at [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings\_manager03.html](http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html).

+### **Does Intel use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?**
+Our Web sites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects) to remember settings, preferences, to provide special content, such as video and animation playback and for other site operations.
+If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the [Website Storage Settings Panel](http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html). You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the [Global Storage Settings Panel](http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html) and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
+Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.
+### **What about other tracking technologies?**
+Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. Intel may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our web sites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
 ### **How does Intel respond to a Do Not Track signal?**
 There is currently no industry agreed upon response to a Do Not Track signal. At this time, Intel Services and websites do not function differently based on a user's Do Not Track signal. For more information on Do Not Track, see [All About Do Not Track](http://www.allaboutdnt.com/).
