This page describes the types of cookies we use when you take a survey with us. For information about cookies in other SurveyMonkey services and sites, please see here.
Please note that clearing or disabling cookies might impact your ability to take the survey effectively. Enabling cookies ensures a smoother survey-taking experience. For any capitalized term not defined herein, please see our other Legal Center policies.
Required cookies are necessary for the Site to securely operate and for delivery of the Services you have requested. These cookies are limited to providing our Services, stability, and security. You will not have the ability to reject these required cookies in accordance with applicable data protection law.
Functional cookies collect information about your choices and preferences. This allows us to present the Sites according to the settings you selected. These cookies also collect information about your use of the Sites and Services which enable us to test new features and improve functionality. For example, these cookies show us which are the most frequently visited pages on the Sites, help us record any difficulties you have with the Sites, and show us whether our advertising is effective or not at an aggregated level. In some cases these cookies allow us to see the overall patterns of usage on the Sites and Services, rather than the usage of a single person (except where that is part of the necessary function of the cookie).
We never use advertising cookies on survey-taking pages. However if you have previously visited a SurveyMonkey Site and accepted advertising cookies on that site, these may appear in your browser settings while you are taking a survey.
Once you leave a survey and land on our end-page, we may use cookies to market our services to you on third party websites or to measure and track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts so that we can tailor our advertising more effectively (For example: cookies set from domains corresponding to our marketing affiliates, like ads.linkedin.com, bing.com, or facebook.com).
We also contract with third party advertising networks that may collect IP addresses and other information from web beacons on our websites, emails, and on third party websites. Ad networks follow your online activities over time by collecting website navigational information through automated means, including through the use of cookies. They use this information to provide advertisements about products and services that may be of interest to you. You may see these advertisements on other websites.
If you are a SurveyMonkey customer and you separately use cookies or similar technologies on your site in conjunction with a SurveyMonkey product, you are independently responsible for management of the data collected through those cookies and for compliance with all laws related to usage of these technologies.
