This page contains information on what cookies are, the cookies used by this website, how to switch cookies off in your browser, how to specifically switch off advertising cookies, and some useful links for further reading on the subject.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Safari) on your computer or mobile phone. They allow websites to store things like user preferences. You can think of cookies as providing a 'memory' for the website, so that it can recognize you when you come back and respond appropriately.
How do Streamworks’ websites use cookies?
A visit to a page on any Streamworks website (streamworksmn.com, iwmarketing.com or myfurnituremarketing.com) may generate the following types of cookies:
- Site performance cookies
- Anonymous analytics cookies
- Geotargeting cookies
- Registration cookies
- Advertising cookies
- Third party advertising cookies
Site performance cookies
This type of cookie remembers your preferences for tools found on the Streamworks website, so you don't have to re-set them each time you visit.
Examples include:
- Volume settings for our video player
- Whether you see the latest or the oldest article comments first
- Video streaming speeds that are compatible with your browser
Anonymous analytics cookies:
Every time someone visits our website, software provided by another organization generates an "anonymous analytics cookie".
These cookies can tell us whether or not you have visited the site before.
Your browser will tell us if you have these cookies and, if you don't, we generate new ones.
This allows us to track how many individual users we have, and how often they visit the site.
Geotargeting cookies
These cookies are used by software which tries to work out what country you are in from the information supplied by your browser when you click on a web page. This cookie is completely anonymous, and we only use it to help target our content, display location-relevant information and advertising.
Advertising cookies
These cookies allow us to know whether or not you've seen an ad or a type of ad, and how long it is since you've seen it.
We also use cookies to help us use targeted advertising. We may use cookies set by another organization so we can more accurately target advertising to you. For example, we may show you ads about direct mail planning tools if you have recently visited the direct mail page on our site. These cookies are anonymous – they store information about what you are looking at on our site, but not about who you are.
We also set anonymous cookies on certain other sites that we advertise on. If you receive one of those cookies, we may then use it to identify you as having visited that site if you later visit Streamworksmn.com, iwmarketing.com or myfurnituremarketing.com. We can then target our advertising based on this information.
How do I turn cookies off?
It is usually possible to stop your browser accepting cookies, or to stop it accepting cookies from a particular website. However, we cannot tell if you are signed in without using cookies, so you would not be able to post comments.
All modern browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. You can usually find these settings in the Options or Preferences menu of your browser. To understand these settings, the following links may be helpful, or you can use the Help option in your browser for more details.
- Cookie settings in Internet Explorer
- Cookie settings in Firefox
- Cookie settings in Chrome
- Cookie settings in Safari web and iOS.
