Q: I live in the UK or an EU country. What is the cancellation policy?
A: By placing an order for a subscription that includes digital access, you understand that your subscription will start immediately, and you will, therefore, lose your statutory right to cancel your subscription within 14 days of acceptance of your order.

A: You can reactivate your subscription at any time by contacting Customer Care.
Q: What happens if I already have a GQ account?

Q: What happens if I already have a GQ print subscription?
A: Most print subscribers will automatically have unlimited digital access to GQ.com, but you will need to log in using the email address associated with your print subscription and, from there, create a digital account. If you have further questions, please reach out to Customer Care.
Q: I have recently become a GQ subscriber. How do I log in?
A: After you initially subscribed, you should have received an email containing a link to log in. The link will automatically log you into the site.
You may also use an email and password if you have previously generated one. If you did not receive an email then you can log in to the site with the email you used during your subscription via the sign-in button in the navigation. You can visit https://www.gq.com/account/profile to view your active subscription.
