Intel Cookie Notice

MINOR
FIRST SEEN 2026-08-28 · VERSION 20260828_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260811_rev01

What changed, in plain language

Nothing in Intel's cookie policy itself was rewritten — it still says "Last modified: September 2023" and every rule about cookies, advertising, and opt-outs reads the same. What changed is how much of the page was captured: the section headings were stripped, a couple of stray navigation lines appeared at the top, and the text from Intel's cookie consent pop-up tool is now included at the end. That appended text spells out things the old capture didn't show, including a line saying you consent to Intel sharing your personal information with its affiliates, partners, and authorized processors, and that Ad Targeting starts out switched on. This looks like a fuller snapshot of the same page rather than a new policy, but the sharing language is worth knowing about.

Changes that may affect you

Consent to share your info with affiliates and partners is now stated in writingMINOR
DATA SHARING

The page now includes a sentence saying you consent to Intel sharing your personal information with its affiliates, partners, and authorized processors. This comes from the cookie consent pop-up rather than a rewritten policy, and the switch it belongs to is shown as "Inactive," so it is off unless you turn it on. It is still worth checking, because the older version of this page never showed this language at all.

“You consent to Intel sharing your personal information with Intel's affiliates, Intel's partners, and Intel-authorized third-party personal information processors.”

What you can do — Open Intel's Manage Cookie Settings tool and confirm the "Data Sharing" and "Ad Targeting and sharing choices" switches are set to Inactive.

Ad targeting starts switched onMINOR
DATA COLLECTION

The consent tool text says ad targeting is "Active" by default, which means Intel may collect and share your device information to build an interest profile and show you targeted ads until you change the setting. Turning on a browser privacy signal such as Global Privacy Control, or setting the switch to Inactive, stops this.

“**Active** means Intel may collect and Share my device information for Ad Targeting uses.”

What you can do — Turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser, or set "Ad Targeting and sharing choices" to Inactive in Intel's cookie settings tool — and repeat it on every device you use.

Changelog

  1. + ADDEDConsent pop-up text now included in the notice

    The page now includes the text from Intel's cookie consent tool — the panel that explains each cookie category and lets you switch them on or off. This text was not in the earlier capture.

    #### Information We Collect Intel values your privacy. Our Sites use Cookies and Similar Technologies on this website to improve your online experience, to analyze site usage, and to show tailored advertising to you. This consent management tool will help you understand what information is being collected and give you control over how it is being used.

  2. + ADDEDData sharing consent line spelled out

    A short line now states that you agree to Intel sharing your personal information with its affiliates, partners, and third-party processors it has authorized. It sits under a switch that is shown as "Inactive" by default.

    You consent to Intel sharing your personal information with Intel's affiliates, Intel's partners, and Intel-authorized third-party personal information processors.

  3. + ADDEDAd targeting is on unless you turn it off

    The consent tool text now says the ad targeting switch is "Active," meaning Intel may collect and share your device information for ad targeting until you either turn it off or turn on a browser privacy signal like Global Privacy Control.

    **Active** means Intel may collect and Share my device information for Ad Targeting uses.

  4. − REMOVEDSection headings removed

    Headings like "What are Cookies?", "How do I Manage Cookies?", and "How to Contact Us" are gone, so the notice now reads as one long block. The wording underneath each heading is unchanged.

    ## **What are Cookies?**

  5. − REMOVED"Privacy at Intel" paragraph dropped

    A short paragraph linking to Intel's main Privacy Notice and Code of Conduct is no longer there. A link to the Privacy Notice still appears elsewhere on the page.

    Intel is committed to privacy. For more information about Intel's approach to privacy see our [Intel Privacy Notice](https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/privacy/intel-privacy-notice.html) and the [Intel Code of Conduct](https://www.intc.com/investor-relations/governance-and-corporate-responsibility/governance-home/default.aspx).

  6. ± CHANGEDContact link changed

    The "Contact Us" link for cookie questions now points to Intel's general support contact page instead of the privacy contact form. The mailing address is unchanged.

    you can contact us by using the [Contact Us](https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/forms/privacy-contact-us.html) form

    you can contact us by using the [Contact Us](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/contact-us.html) form

11## **What are Cookies?**
12
1317Cookies 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 website owners to make their web sites operate, work more efficiently, and provide analytic information.
1418
1519Cookies may be placed on your device by Intel and third parties. We recommend using the [Manage Cookie Setting tool](https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/privacy/intel-cookie-notice.html) to express your cookie choices.
1620
1721This Notice describes how Intel, our vendors, and other third parties on our behalf use Cookies and Similar Technologies (such as pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, JavaScript, and local storage) ("Cookies") in connection with communications sent by Intel or on our behalf and the websites (including mobile websites and apps) owned and controlled by Intel (the "Sites").
1822

2327- **Strictly Necessary Cookies.** These technologies are necessary for the Intel experience to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. The technology is usually only set in response to actions made by the device owner which amount to a request for services, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, filling in forms, maintaining secure login areas, maintaining state across pages (remembering items in a shopping basket), and server load balancing. The device owner can set their preference to block or alert Intel about these technologies, but some parts of the Intel experience will not work. These technologies do not store any personally identifiable information.
2428- **Analytics Cookies.** These technologies allow Intel to count device visits and traffic sources, so Intel can measure and improve the performance of our experiences. The technology helps Intel to know which experiences are the most and least popular and see how device owners interact with the experience. All information these technologies collect is aggregated. If the device owner does not allow these technologies, then Intel will not know when the device owner visited or how the device owner interacted with our experiences.
2529- **Functional Cookies**. These technologies enable the Intel experience to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. The technology may be set by Intel or by third-party providers whose services Intel have added to our experiences. If the device owner does not allow these technologies, then some or all of these services may not function properly for the device owner.
2630- **Ad Targeting Cookies.** These technologies may be set through our Intel experience or by our advertising partners. The technology may be used to build a profile of the device owner's interests and show the device owner relevant advertisements on other experiences. The technology does not store directly personal information on the device, but the technology is based on uniquely identifying the device. If the device owner does not allow these technologies, then the device owner will experience less targeted advertising.
2731
28## **How Long do Cookies Stay on My Device?**
29
3032Some Cookies operate from the time you visit a Site until the end of that particular browsing session. These "session" Cookies expire and are automatically deleted when you close your Internet browser.
3133
3234Some Cookies stay on your device between browsing sessions-these "persistent" Cookies do not expire when you close your browser. The length of time a persistent Cookie stays on your device varies from Cookie to Cookie.
3335
34## **How does Intel Provide Online and Mobile Advertising?**
35
3636We and our vendors, and our other third parties, engage in interest-based advertising to deliver advertisements and personalized content that we and other advertisers believe will be of interest to you. Third party vendors will be responsible for their own use of personal information collected through the Cookies.
3737
3838Advertisements 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 communications, the pages you visit, your general geographic location, or other information. These ads may appear on our Sites or on third party websites. The vendors 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)](https://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/) and the [Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)](http://www.aboutads.info/). For Sites directed at persons located in the European Union, we may work with vendors 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 websites or properties, based on your visits to, and activities on, Intel Sites and other sites.

56## **What about Similar Tracking Technologies?**
57
5854Cookies 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 Sites or opened a communication that we have sent them. This enables us to assess the effectiveness of communications. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
5955
60## **How does Intel respond to privacy-preference signals?**
61
6256If you visit an Intel Site or service using a device with a United States IP address and a privacy-preference signal enabled (e.g., [Do Not Track](http://www.allaboutdnt.com/), [Global Privacy Control](https://globalprivacycontrol.org/)), Intel will not collect device information for the purpose of Ad Targeting uses. If you have more than one device, you will need to configure all devices with your privacy-preferences. For more information, you can visit the Ad Targeting category found in the [Manage Cookie Setting tool](https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/privacy/intel-cookie-notice.html) and review your Ad Targeting and Sharing Choices.
