At iKnowPlus.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we are committed to protecting your privacy and providing transparency about how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we employ, and your choices regarding their use. This policy is designed to comply with applicable privacy laws, including those relevant to Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager, such as the EU User Consent Policy, GDPR (where applicable), CCPA, and upcoming 2025 U.S. state privacy laws (e.g., in Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, and Delaware). We use cookies to enhance your experience, analyze site performance, and deliver relevant advertising, including rewarded ads where users can earn rewards by engaging with video or interactive content.
By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please adjust your browser settings or refrain from using the site.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They store information about your browsing activity and help websites remember your preferences, improve functionality, and deliver personalized content. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which we may also use.
Cookies can be “session” (temporary, deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” (remain until expired or deleted). They can also be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by partners like Google).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential Functionality: To enable core site features, such as navigation, security, and access to secure areas.
- Performance and Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our site, measure traffic, and improve content.
- Personalization: To remember your preferences, like language or region, for a tailored experience.
- Advertising: To display relevant ads, including personalized ones based on your interests, and to measure ad effectiveness. This includes rewarded ads, where you may watch videos or complete actions to earn in-app rewards or benefits.
Our website contains rewarded ads, which are interactive advertisements that offer users incentives (such as virtual currency, extra content, or discounts) in exchange for engagement. These ads may use cookies to track completion and prevent fraud, ensuring fair reward distribution.
We partner with Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager to serve ads. Google uses cookies to personalize ads, limit ad frequency, and report on ad performance. For more details, see Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google Uses Information from Sites or Apps.
Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize cookies based on their purpose:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include cookies for session management and security. Examples: Authentication cookies.
- Performance Cookies: These collect anonymous data on site usage, such as pages visited and time spent. We use Google Analytics for this. No personal data is shared without consent.
- Functional Cookies: These remember your choices (e.g., username, consent preferences) to provide enhanced features.
- Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These track browsing habits to show relevant ads across sites. Google AdSense and Ad Manager set these for personalized advertising, including rewarded ads. They may use data like your IP address, browser type, and previous interactions.
Third-party cookies from Google may include:
- NID, ANID (for ad personalization)
- IDE, DSID (for ad tracking across devices)
- __gads, __gpi (for ad serving and measurement)
For rewarded ads, cookies help verify user actions and deliver rewards without abuse.
Third-Party Cookies and Data Sharing
We work with third parties like Google for advertising. These partners may set cookies on your device and collect data such as:
- Device information (e.g., browser, OS)
- Location (approximate, based on IP)
- Browsing behavior (e.g., pages viewed, ads clicked)
This data helps serve personalized ads, including rewarded ones, and measure campaign effectiveness. Google may combine this with data from other sources for better targeting, subject to their policies.
Under 2025 U.S. privacy laws, we limit sensitive data sharing and provide opt-out options. For EEA/UK/Switzerland users, we use a certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) to obtain consent for personalized ads, complying with Google’s EU User Consent Policy.

- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Visit your browser’s help section (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) for instructions. Note: Blocking essential cookies may impair site functionality.
- Opt-Out of Personalized Ads: Use Google’s Ads Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out tool.
- Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: For CCPA/CPRA compliance, submit requests via our Privacy Policy contact form.
- Consent Withdrawal: EEA/UK users can withdraw consent anytime through our CMP banner.
Rewarded ads may require cookies for functionality; opting out could limit access to rewards.
