Cookie Notice

Effective 12/22/2025

At CaptivateIQ, we believe in being transparent about how we collect and use data. This Cookie Notice: (i) provides information about how and when we use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit Captivateiq.com and other CaptivateIQ websites; and (ii) explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are automatically downloaded to your computer or device when you visit a website. Cookies send data back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or share data with other websites that recognize that Cookie.

Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device over time. They can be used for lots of different activities, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, personalizing your online experience, and generally improving the user experience. They can also help to ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

How do we use Cookies?

We use Cookies for a variety of purposes – to remember your preferences, provide product and site functionality, analyze use of the Services, enhance and personalize your experience, and provide online advertising that is more tailored to your interests.

What types of Cookies do we use?

There are four different types of Cookies we use:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies. These Cookies are necessary for our website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these Cookies, but this may cause some parts of the site to not work properly.

• Performance Cookies. These Cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around our site. If you do not allow these Cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site, and we will not be able to monitor its performance.

• Functional Cookies. These Cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and customization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these Cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

• Targeting Cookies. These Cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. If you do not allow these Cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

To find out more about interest-based ads and your choices, please visit these sites: Digital Advertising Alliance, Network Advertising Initiative, and Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) Europe.

How long do Cookies stay on my device?

Some Cookies operate from the time you visit a CaptivateIQ website or 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.

How do I control which Cookies are set?

There are a number of ways you can manage what Cookies are set on your devices. As explained above, however, strictly necessary Cookies cannot be disabled. If you block certain Cookies, the Services may not be accessible to you and/or the performance, features, or Services may not function in their intended way.

Your Cookies choices

• Browser Settings: You can exercise your preference to receive all types of Cookies by managing them from your web browser. As the means by which to activate or deactivate Cookies varies from one web browser to another, you should visit your web browser’s help menu for more information on Cookie preferences. You can also configure your browser at any time to be notified of the receipt of a Cookie, so that you can decide whether you want to accept it or not. Cookies do not under any circumstances read the data from your hard drive and you can delete them from your computer/device at any time. At the moment, it is technically impossible for you to synchronize your settings between your browsers and your devices (your computer or your smartphone). You must set them on each browser/device that you currently use and each time you use a new browser or device.
• Cookies Preference Center: Depending on your jurisdiction of residence, you may also be able to exercise choice with respect to Cookies by using the tools available here.

Updates to this Notice

We’re constantly trying to improve our Services, and applicable legal requirements change over time, so we may need to change this Cookie Notice from time to time as well.  In such instances, we will post the revised Cookie Notice here and update the “Effective Date” above. The revised version of the Cookie Notice will be effective starting on such “Effective Date.”
