Intel.com Website Terms of Use
Intel deleted the entire 'Data Sharing' disclosure that told visitors they consent to Intel sharing personal information with its affiliates, partners, and authorized processors, and it stripped the 'Ad Targeting' section down to a bare heading (renamed 'Advertising'), removing the plain-language explanation of what the cookie toggles mean and the explicit promise to honor Do Not Track/Global Privacy Control signals for U.S. visitors. The listed toggle states for Analytics, Functional, and Advertising cookies also changed from 'Active' to 'Inactive,' which most likely reflects a snapshot of the page visitor's own saved cookie preferences rather than a change to Intel's actual default settings.
Explicit data-sharing disclosure deleted from this page
Intel removed the plain-language statement telling visitors that they consent to Intel sharing personal information with its affiliates, partners, and authorized processors. Losing this disclosure makes it harder for someone reading this page to know that this sharing happens; it doesn't necessarily mean the sharing itself has stopped, since it may now only be described in Intel's separate Privacy Notice.
“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 — Check Intel's Privacy Notice and Cookie Notice directly to confirm current data-sharing practices, since this Terms page no longer states them.
Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control commitment removed from this page
The prior text specifically promised that visitors from a U.S. IP address with Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control enabled would not have their device information collected for ad targeting. That specific promise, along with the definitions of the cookie toggle states, is no longer on this page.
“If 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, Global Privacy Control), Intel will not collect device information for the purpose of Ad Targeting uses.”
What you can do — Verify your browser's Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control settings and consult Intel's Cookie Notice to confirm whether these signals are still honored for ad targeting.

| 176 | 176 | 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. |

± CHANGEDCookie toggle statuses shown as changed from Active to Inactive The displayed statuses for Analytics, Functional, and Advertising cookies changed from 'Active' to 'Inactive.' This is likely a snapshot of the specific visitor's saved cookie consent choices at the time each page copy was captured, not a change to Intel's default settings for new visitors. | ||
| 181 | 181 | |
| 182 | 182 | 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. |

| 188 | 188 | 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. |

| 204 | 194 | 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. |

This whole section, including its consent statement, has been deleted. | ||
ALSO IN THIS CHANGE, NOT TIED TO ONE LINE
- ± CHANGED'Ad Targeting and sharing choices' renamed to 'Advertising' and simplified
The section explaining ad-targeting cookies was renamed from 'Ad Targeting and sharing choices' to 'Advertising.' The definitions of what 'Active' and 'Inactive' mean, the explicit commitment to not collect device information for ad targeting when a U.S. visitor has Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control enabled, and the note about needing to set preferences on every device were all removed.
If 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, Global Privacy Control), Intel will not collect device information for the purpose of Ad Targeting uses.
