Cookie Policy

Last Updated and Effective Date: 11/20/25

Qualcomm Incorporated, and our subsidiaries and affiliated companies (collectively, “Qualcomm,” “we,” or “us”) use cookies and a variety of similar technologies (e.g., web beacons that sometimes are also referred to as single pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, or web bugs) on websites. We refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies.” This Cookie Policy explains the use of cookies when you visit our websites that provide a link to this Cookie Policy. See “Your Choices” below to manage cookies.

WHAT IS A COOKIE?

A cookie is a small data file that is downloaded and stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device (normally under your browser’s file directory) when you visit one of our websites or allow our website(s) to recognize your device. Cookies may be set by us (“first party cookies”) or by other companies (“third party cookies”). When you return to our websites, or access other web pages within one of our websites you are visiting, your web browser will send the information stored in the cookie to us or to the third party that set the cookie. For more information explaining cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

We may also collect information via standard server logs or clear GIFs (also known as “ beacons”). Web beacons and pixel tags are images embedded in a webpage or email for the purpose of measuring and analyzing usage and activity. 

WHY AND HOW WE USE COOKIES?

Various cookies may be used on our websites for a variety of purposes:

  • Basic Functions. Some of our websites use cookies strictly necessary for basic functions of the website (a.k.a. essential cookies), such as to access secure area of the site, keep you logged-in where registration is required, or to remember items in a shopping cart. These cookies generally should not (and cannot in certain regions) be switched off on our websites. If you block some of them, your experience of our websites will get compromised. The data collected for this purpose is not directly identifiable.
  • Site Analytics. To measure and improve the performance and functionality of our websites, we may use cookies to better understand how visitors are using our websites. These cookies help us learn, for example, if some webpages are not being frequently visited, which sections of our webpages are most popular, or if visitors are having difficulties navigating our websites. These cookies may be set by us, or by third-party companies. Our websites may also use third-party analytics tools that provide session replay, heatmaps, funnels, form analytics, feedback surveys and similar features/functionality to help us measure and improve the performance and functionality of the websites. Such tools may record your clicks, mouse movements, scrolling, pages visited, time on the site, and other similar data.
  • Personalization. Some of our websites use cookies to enhance your user experience, such as to personalize the content that is displayed on our site according to your preferences, or to remember you when you return to our site. For example, we may use a personalization tool to customize our website home page in accordance with your previous browsing activity.
  • Targeting. To the extent legally permissible, we may allow third party advertising companies to serve our ads across the Internet. These companies use cookies to measure and improve the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns, with generic information about your visit to and interactions with our sites and other websites, in order to provide more targeted advertisements about our goods and services of specific interest to you.
  • Security and Spam Prevention. Some of our websites may use cookies to protect website security and prevent fraud and spam. For example, some web forms on our websites may use tools to automatically assess whether a web form submitter is likely to be a bot.

HOW LONG ARE COOKIES STORED?

We set cookies to expire after they have fulfilled their purpose. Our websites use cookies that expire when you close your browser (i.e., session cookies) or that expire after a set period of time (i.e., so-called “persistent cookies”). Cookies set by third parties will have the expiration period determined by such third parties, not us.

YOUR CHOICES

Depending on where you are located, you have the right to decide whether certain cookies are stored on your computer or device, and adjust or delete them. Where legally required, we obtain your consent before placing cookies that are not strictly necessary to run our websites. Unless prohibited or restricted by law, by accepting cookies that are stored on your computer when you visit our site, we infer that you have accepted the use of cookies as explained in this Cookie Policy. You can manage cookies one or more ways:

  • Browser Setting. Your browser likely supports a variety of settings to control the cookies that are set on your computer or device and to delete cookies. These settings are typically found under the “Tools”, “Settings”, or “Options” menus. You can also check the “help” menu of your browser to learn how to change the cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that you will need to manage the settings for each browser you use and on each device you use. Further information from several popular browsers can be found at the following sites:
  • Online Tools. We provide you the ability to manage cookies directly via “Cookie Settings” or other functionally equivalent features, which you can find at the footer of our websites. Some third parties also allow you to manage advertising cookies through online tools such as Network Advertising Initiative, Digital Advertising Alliance, and Your Online Choices.
  • Browser Extensions. Some third parties have created software that can be added to your web browser to manage their cookies such as Ghostery.
  • Opt Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information. Under applicable law, our use of cookies may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. If you are within such jurisdiction, you may find the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on the bottom of our websites and you may opt out of such selling or sharing of personal information by clicking this link. You can also use opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the do-not-track signal, we currently do not respond to the browser do-not-track signals. However, as noted above, we do honor opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control signals.

Please note that while you are free to decline non-essential cookies, your user experience with our websites may be negatively impacted. If you choose to block certain cookies, you may not be able to use some features on our websites. Our reference to any third party or their software or services is not our endorsement of such third party or their products and services, and we disclaim any liability for the use or operation of any third-party software or services.

POLICY CHANGES

We reserve the right to change this Cookie Policy from time to time and in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Cookie Policy at any time, but will alert you that changes have been made by indicating on the Cookie Policy the date it was last updated. When you visit the site, you are accepting the current version of this Cookie Policy as posted on the site at that time. We recommend that users revisit this Cookie Policy on occasion to learn of any changes.
