The data collected through this cookie is not associated by the IAPP with any individual person.

Marketing Cookies
We also use a marketing database management program (Marketo) that deploys a cookie when a user interacts with marketing communications, such as a marketing email or a marketing-based landing page on our website. This cookie collects personal information such as your name, which pages you visit on our website, how you arrived at our website, and your purchases from the IAPP. Collected information is used to evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns or to provide better targeting for marketing. From time to time, cookies set by third parties find their way into this “Marketing” category, but the IAPP does not always have control over those cookies and does not share personal data with those third parties.

Third Party Website Cookies
When using our website, you may be directed to other websites for such activities as surveys, to make payment in currency other than U.S. dollars, for job applications, and to view content hosted on those sites such as an embedded video or news article. These websites may use their own cookies. We do not have control over the placement of cookies by other websites you visit, even if you are directed to them from our website.
Tokens
Our authentication process places tokens on your device to allow users to be able to access specific content within the MyIAPP site. Storage of these tokens allows for secure access to the site and for the retrieval of a user's information in a secure manner. This token is used solely for the purpose of authentication. This token/cookie does store some Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to be able to identify an authenticated user and allow them access to private content.
How To Control and Delete Cookies
- Consent Tool
The IAPP Cookie Consent tool can be utilized to customize your cookie preferences. The tool will record when you have consented to our cookie policy and will ask for consent once a year to ensure users stay up to date with changes to our cookie and privacy policies. The consent tool specifically controls the marketing cookies and performance cookies set by using our primary public website (iapp.org). Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled, nor can the tool be used to block cookies on third party websites linked from our website. You can access the IAPP Cookie Consent tool anytime from the "manage cookies" link in the iapp.org footer. - Using Your Browser
Many of the cookies used on our website and through emails can be enabled or disabled through our consent tool or by disabling the cookies through your browser. To disable cookies through your browser, follow the instructions usually located within the “Help,” “Tools” or “Edit” menus in your browser. Please note that disabling a cookie or category of cookies does not delete the cookie from your browser unless manually completed through your browser function. - Cookies Set in the Past
Collection of your data from our analytics cookies can be deleted. If cookies are deleted, the information collected prior to the preference change may still be used. However, we will stop using the disabled cookie to collect any further information from your user experience. For our marketing cookie, when a user opts out of tracking, a new cookie is placed to prevent users from being tracked.
