- Cookies, Targeting, and Analytics
Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your device’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site and Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Site and Service. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.
- Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your device when you close your browser or turn off your device. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site and Services. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Site and Services.
- Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you have closed your browser or turned off your device. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity.
Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our Site and Services to, among other things, track the activities of Site visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about Site usage. We and our third-party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML e-mails to our customers, to help us track e-mail response rates, identify when our e-mails are viewed, and track whether our e-mails are forwarded.
Third Party Analytics. We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site. We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our Site. We use these tools to help us improve our Site’s performance and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons or local storage objects (LSOs), to perform their services. You can download the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Cross-Device Use. We and our third-party service providers, including Google, may use the information that we collect about you (whether directly from our Site, through your device(s), or from a third party) to help us and our third-party service providers identify other devices that you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, other computer, etc.). We, and our third-party service providers also may use the cross-device use and other information we learn about you to serve targeted advertising on your devices and to send you emails. To opt-out of cross-device advertising, you may follow the instructions set forth in the Third Party Ad Networks section below. Please note: if you opt-out of these targeted advertising cookies, your opt-out will be specific to the web browser, app, or device from which you accessed the opt-out. If you use multiple devices or web browsers, you will need to opt-out each browser or device that you use.
Managing Your Preferences. We make available several ways for you to manage your preferences regarding targeted advertising, matching and cookies within our Services. Many of these are browser and device specific, which means that you need to set the preference for each browser and device you use to access our Services; in addition, if you delete or block cookies, you may need to reapply these preferences. Further, opting out of cookies and advertising as discussed below does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising content from us. You may continue to receive generic or “contextual” ads from us.
- Cookie preference manager. You can review or change your preferences for targeting cookies and tags on our websites by adjusting your cookie settings here. These settings are browser and device specific.
- Browser signals. If our website detects that your browser is transmitting a “global privacy control”—or GPC— signal, we will apply that to opt that browser on your device out of targeting cookies on our website If you come to our website from a different device or from a different browser on the same device, you will need to apply GPC for that browser and/or device as well. See Section 14.I. Additional Privacy Information for California Residents, below, for more information about GPC.
- Industry ad choice programs. You can also control how participating third-party ad companies use the information that they collect about your visits to our websites and those of third parties, in order to display more relevant targeted advertising to you; for more information and to opt out of receiving targeted ads from participating third-party ad networks go to:
- U.S. Users: aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance) (You can also download the DAA AppChoices tool in order to help control interest-based advertising on apps on your mobile device)
- Canada Users: youradchoices.ca/choices/ (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada)
- EU Users: youronlinechoices.eu (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance)
- Browser settings. If you wish to prevent cookies from tracking your activity on our website or visits across multiple websites, you can set your browser to block certain cookies or notify you when a cookie is set; you can also delete cookies. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your device from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to delete cookies. Visitors to our Services who disable cookies will be able to browse the website, but some features may not function.
- Your Privacy Choices
- myMxL Account. You can review and update some of the personal information we maintain about you by logging into your account and updating your information.

- Additional Privacy Information for Certain Jurisdictions
- Additional Information for California Residents
- Categories of Personal Information Under the CCPA
In this subsection, we provide additional information to California residents about how we handle their personal information, as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). This section does not address or apply to our handling of publicly available information or other personal information that is exempt under the CCPA.
Categories of Personal Information Collected and Disclosed. While our processing of personal information varies based upon our relationship and interactions with you, the table below identifies, generally, the categories of personal information (as defined by the CCPA) that we have collected about California residents, as well as the categories of third parties to whom we may disclose this information for a business or commercial purpose.
| Categories of Personal Information | Description | Third party disclosures for business or commercial purpose |
| Identifiers | Includes direct identifiers, such as name, alias, user ID, username, account number or unique personal identifier; email address, phone number, address and other contact information; IP address and other online identifiers, and other government identifiers. |
|
| Customer Records | Includes personal information, such as name, account name, user ID, contact information, account number, and financial or payment information that individuals who work for our Business Clients provide us in order to purchase or obtain our products and services. For example, this may include information collected when an individual registers for an account, purchases Services, or enters into an agreement with us on behalf of a Business Client. |
|
| Commercial Information | Includes records of Services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or use histories or tendencies. |
|
| Internet and electronic network activity information | Includes browsing history, clickstream data, search history, and information regarding interactions with an internet site, application, or advertisement, including other usage data related to use of any of our Services or other online services. |
|
| Location data | Location information about a particular individual or device. |
|
| Audio, visual and other electronic data | Includes audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information such as, temperature screenings and CCTV or other video footage (e.g., collected from visitors to our offices or online events), photographs and images (e.g., that you provide us or that may be captured during events), and call recordings (e.g., business client support calls). |
|
| Professional information | Includes professional and employment-related information (such as current and former employer(s) and position(s), business contact information and professional memberships). |
|
| Profiles and Inferences | Includes inferences drawn from any of the information identified above to create a profile or segment reflecting preferences, characteristics, behavior or attitudes. |
|
Sources of personal information. In general, we may collect the categories of personal information identified above from the following categories of sources:
- directly from you;
- advertising networks;
- Internet service providers;
- data analytics providers;
- MaxLinear representatives and distribution partners; and
- other users who we notify you of or to which you consent.
Purposes of Collection, Use, and Disclosure. As described in more detail in Section 3, Purposes of Use and Processing, and Section 4, Disclosures of Personal Information in general, we collect use, disclose, and otherwise process the above personal information for the following business or commercial purposes and as otherwise directed or consented to by you:
- services and support;
- communicating with you;
- analytics and improvement;
- marketing and advertising;
- planning and managing events;
- research and surveys;
- security and protection of rights;
- legal proceedings and obligations; and
- general business and operational support.
Retention. We retain the personal information we collect only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above or otherwise disclosed to you at the time of collection. For example, we will retain your account data for as long as you have an active account with us and additional information as necessary to comply with our tax, accounting and recordkeeping obligations, to provide you with the services you have requested, as well as an additional period of time as necessary to protect, defend or establish our rights, defend against potential claims, and comply with our legal obligations.
Sales and Sharing of Personal Information. The CCPA also requires that we disclose how we ‘sell’ and ‘share’ personal information. Under the CCPA, a ‘sale’ is defined broadly to include disclosing or making available personal information to a third-party in exchange for monetary compensation or other benefits or value, and ‘share’ broadly includes disclosing or making available personal information to a third party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. As such, while we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may, pursuant to the CCPA, sell or share business contact information with our distributors and sales representatives to assist with distribution, marketing, and sales of our products and Internet and electronic network activity information and identifiers (not including government identifiers), which we may disclose or make available to ad networks and data analytics providers in support of advertising and campaign management, to analyze use of the Services, to optimize and develop our products and Services, and to improve and measure our ad campaigns. We do not sell or share any personal information about individuals who we know are under sixteen (16) years old.
- California Residents’ Rights
- Do-not-sell or share (opt-out): California residents may opt out of “sales” and “sharing” of their personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA.
- Right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information: the right to limit the use or disclosure of their sensitive personal information to those authorized by the CCPA. We do not collect, use, or disclose sensitive personal information, thus this right is not available to California consumers.
- Right of deletion: to request deletion of their personal information that we have collected about them and to have such personal information deleted (without charge), subject to certain exceptions.
- Right to know: the right to know what personal information we have collected about them, including the categories of personal information, the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing personal information, the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about them.
- Right to correct: the right to request that a business that maintains inaccurate personal information about the resident correct that personal information.
- Right to non-discrimination: the right not to be subject to discriminatory treatment for exercising their rights under the CCPA.
Requests to know/access, correct, and delete. California residents may submit CCPA requests to access/know, correct, and delete their personal information maintained by us through our webform or calling 1-800-227-7103.
When you submit a request, we will take steps to verify your identity and request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. In some cases, we may request additional information in order to verify your request or where necessary to process your request. If we are unable to adequately verify a request, we will notify the requestor.
Authorized agents may initiate a request on behalf of another individual by contacting us at the toll-free number above; authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization and we may also require that the relevant consumer directly verify their identity and the authority of the authorized agent.
Requests to Opt Out. California residents may exercise their right to opt out of the sale and sharing of their personal information through our webform. We will apply your opt out based upon the personal information in our records that is linked or reasonably linkable to the information provided in your request. In addition, our website responds to global privacy control—or “GPC”—signals, which means that if we detect that your browser is communicating a GPC signal, we will process that as a request to opt that particular browser and device out of sales and sharing (i.e., via cookies and tracking tools) on our website. Note that if you come back to our website from a different device or use a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt out (or set GPC for) that browser and device as well. More information about GPC is available at: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.
