Necessary cookies

These are cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of a website. Without these cookies, this website won’t work properly. Accordingly, we are not asking you for your specific consent for those cookies. For all other cookies, your informed consent is required.

Session cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookie files that are erased when you close your browser. When you restart your browser and go back to the site that created that cookie, the website will treat you as a new visitor.

Functional cookies

These are cookies that are set up to improve the functionality of the website. For example, cookies that remember the content you previously viewed on this website or the email address and password you provided when registering during an earlier visit to this website. Using functional cookies may allow us to serve you content tailored to your interests and save you the time of having to re-register or re-enter information when you re-visit this website or try to access certain subscription-only sections.

Cookies that send information to us

These are the cookies that we set on the IQmeter website and they can only be read by the IQmeter website. This is known as a "first-party" cookie.

We also place cookies on ads shown on other websites owned by third parties (e.g. LinkedIn). We obtain information via those cookies when you click on or interact with the advertisement. In this situation, the ad places a "third-party" cookie. We may use the information obtained by these cookies to serve you with advertising that is relevant and of interest to you based on your past online behavior.

Cookies that send information to other companies

These are cookies that are set on the IQmeter website by our partner companies (e.g. LinkedIn or advertisers). They may use the data collected from these cookies to anonymously target advertising to you on other websites, based on your visit to this Website. For example, if you use a social widget (e.g. LinkedIn) on the Website, LinkedIn (as the company setting the cookie) will collect some data. This is known as a "third-party" cookie.

Demographics and interest reporting

The IQmeter website uses Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to improve advertising. Some common applications are to target advertising based on what’s relevant to a user, to improve reporting on campaign performance, and to avoid showing ads the user has already seen. This is done using what is called the "double-click" cookie. If you don’t want your information collected in this way, you can:

• use Google’s Ads Settings to opt out of Display Advertising; or
• use "EU Privacy" link in the bottom of this page and opt out of Google Analytics;

The "double-click" cookies contain no personally identifiable information. Sometimes the "double-click" cookie will contain an additional identifier that is similar in appearance to the cookie ID and is used to identify an ad campaign to which a user was exposed previously.

We will not use any information reported by Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to identify any individual user of our site.
