Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of significant accounting policies	1. Summary of significant accounting policies (a) Basis of preparation and liquidity The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared for Cogint, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for any future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2017. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016 Form 10-K”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date included in the 2016 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by US GAAP. Reclassifications Certain prior period items, including write-off of long-lived assets, have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Principles of consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. (b) Recently issued accounting standards In May 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” (“ASU 2016-08”), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in evaluating whether it controls the good or the service before it is transferred to the customer. The new revenue recognition standard will be effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, that is, the first quarter of 2018. The new standard also permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). We currently do not plan to early adopt ASU 2014-09, and we anticipate adopting the standard using the modified retrospective method. We plan to have our preliminary assessment on the impact this guidance will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in the fourth quarter of 2017. In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), “Leases (Topic 842),” which generally requires companies to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet. This guidance will be effective in the first quarter of 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. We are still evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, an option to recognize gross share-based compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017 on a retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded an increase to the deferred tax asset balance and an increase to the corresponding valuation allowance of $301 related to the cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2017. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded tax expense of $482 and $2,451, respectively, which was offset by a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 (“ASU 2016-15”), “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which provides guidance for certain cash flow issues, including contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, etc. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. We are still evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 (“ASU 2016-18”), “Restricted Cash,” which requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard on January 1, 2018, and the standard will result in changes to its consolidated statements of cash flows such that restricted cash amounts will be included in the beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash and cash equivalents totals. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04 (“ASU 2017-04”), “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2020 on a prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Loss per share

2. Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and is calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options and unvested shares. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculation in the loss periods as their effects would be anti-dilutive.

The information related to basic and diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

The gross amount associated with software developed for internal use mainly represents capitalized costs of internally developed software. The amounts relating to acquired proprietary technology, customer relationships, trade names, domain names, databases, and non-competition agreements mainly represent the fair values of intangible assets acquired as a result of the acquisition of Fluent, LLC (“Fluent”) effective on December 8, 2015 (the “Fluent Acquisition”) and the acquisition of Q Interactive, LLC (“Q Interactive”) effective on June 8, 2016 (the “Q Interactive Acquisition”).

On January 18, 2017, the Company’s management and Board of Directors approved a plan to merge and fully integrate Q Interactive’s business into Fluent (the “Q Interactive Integration”). As a result, the remaining balance of long-lived assets of $3,626, relating primarily to the acquired proprietary technology and trade names acquired in the Q Interactive Acquisition, was written off to operating expenses as a write-off of long-lived assets.

Amortization expenses of $3,362 and $3,333 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $9,931 and $8,726 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were included in depreciation and amortization expenses. As of September 30, 2017, intangible assets of $3,444, included in the gross amounts of software developed for internal use, have not been amortized. These intangible assets will start to amortize when they are put into use.

As of September 30, 2017, estimated amortization expenses related to the Company’s intangible assets for the remainder of 2017 through 2022 and thereafter are as follows:

Goodwill	4. Goodwill Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance of goodwill includes $5,227 as a result of the acquisition of Interactive Data, LLC (“Interactive Data”) effective on October 2, 2014, $155,645 as a result of the Fluent Acquisition effective on December 8, 2015, and $5,384 as a result of the Q Interactive Acquisition effective on June 8, 2016. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, by assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis in determining whether it is more likely than not that its fair value exceeds the carrying value. The measurement date of our annual goodwill impairment test is October 1. As of September 30, 2017, there are no events or changes in circumstances to indicate that goodwill is impaired.

Term Loan

On December 8, 2015, Fluent entered into an agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions, for a term loan in the amount of $45,000 (“Term Loan”), with Whitehorse Finance, Inc. acting as the agent (the “Term Loan Agent”). Fluent’s obligations in respect of the Term Loan are guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of the other direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company and secured by substantially all of such entities’ assets. The Credit Agreement has a five year term.

Prior to the Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement entered into on January 19, 2017 (the “Amendment No. 3”), payments of principal in the amount of $563 each were due on the last day of each quarter, commencing March 31, 2016. Additionally, 50% of excess cash flow of Fluent and its subsidiaries for the immediately preceding fiscal year is required, in the Term Loan Agent’s sole discretion, to be paid towards the Term Loan obligations, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. As a result of the excess cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2016, we reclassified a total amount of $1,885 into current portion of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. Because the Term Loan Agent refused the prepayment, we reclassified the $1,885 back to non-current portion of long-term debt in the first quarter of 2017. The Credit Agreement provides for certain other customary mandatory prepayments upon certain events, and also provides for certain prepayment premiums during the first four years of the Term Loan, provided that the prepayment premiums are not applicable to scheduled payments of principal, the required excess cash flow payments and certain other required prepayments.

Debt issuance costs, including the fair value of warrants issued to the Term Loan Agent and its affiliates in prior periods (“Whitehorse Warrants”), are amortized into interest expense over the term of the Term Loan using the interest method. The Whitehorse Warrants include warrants to purchase, in aggregate, 300,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $5.08 per share. We estimate the fair value of such warrants on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model and recognized them as debt issuance costs and additional paid-in capital.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, contains customary representations and warranties, covenants (including certain financial covenants), and events of default, upon the occurrence of which the Term Loan Agent may accelerate the obligations under the Credit Agreement. Certain restrictive covenants impose limitations on the way we conduct our business, including limitations on the amount of additional debt we can incur and restricts our ability to make certain investments and other restricted payments, including certain intercompany payments of cash and other property. The financial covenants include the requirement that the Company and its subsidiaries attain, on a quarterly basis, certain minimum EBITDA thresholds for the immediately preceding twelve-month period, Fluent and its subsidiaries attain, on a quarterly basis, certain minimum EBITDA thresholds for the immediately preceding twelve-month period, Fluent and its subsidiaries meet certain leverage ratios on a quarterly basis, Fluent and its subsidiaries meet certain fixed charge coverage ratios on a quarterly basis, and Fluent and its subsidiaries maintain at all times cash and cash equivalent balances of at least $2.0 million (or such lesser amount agreed to by the Term Loan Agent), in the aggregate. On August 7, 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”). Amendment No. 4 provides that there shall be no requirement that the Company and its subsidiaries meet any minimum EBITDA threshold for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2017. The requirement that Fluent and its subsidiaries meet the required minimum EBITDA threshold for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2017 was not impacted by Amendment No. 4. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement, after giving effect to Amendment No. 4. On November 3, 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 5”). Amendment No. 5 provides for certain amendments to the definition of EBITDA by adding back acquisition and restructuring costs resulting from the Business Combination Transaction (as defined below), and non-recurring costs relating to litigation with TRADS that we settled on July 22, 2017. Amendment No. 5 also amends the minimum EBITDA threshold for the Company and its subsidiaries beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2017. In addition, Amendment No. 5 allows for additional transfer of cash from Fluent to the Company, provided that Fluent maintains a minimum cash balance. As of September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement, after giving effect to Amendment No. 5.

Incremental Term Loan

On January 19, 2017, Fluent entered into Amendment No. 3, amending Fluent's Term Loan facility dated December 8, 2015. The Amendment No. 3, among other things, provides for a new term loan in the principal amount of $15,000 ("Incremental Term Loan"), subject to the terms and conditions of the Amendment No. 3, and modifies certain other Credit Agreement provisions, including certain financial covenants and related definitions. The entire Incremental Term Loan of $14,039, net of debt issuance costs of $961, was received on February 1, 2017.

The Incremental Term Loan and Fluent's existing Term Loan (collectively, the "Term Loans") are guaranteed by the Company and the other direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Fluent, in each case, on an equal and ratable basis. The Term Loans accrue interest at the rate of: (a) either, at Fluent's option, LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.50%) plus 10.5% per annum, or base rate plus 9.5% per annum, payable in cash, plus (b) 1% per annum, payable, at Fluent's option, in either cash or in-kind. Payments of principal of the Term Loans are $688 per quarter, replacing the original $563 for the Term Loan, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, commencing on March 31, 2017. The Term Loans mature on December 8, 2020.

Promissory Notes

On December 8, 2015, the Company entered into and consummated the promissory notes financing (the “Promissory Notes”) with each of Frost Gamma Investment Trust (“Frost Gamma”), an affiliate of Phillip Frost, M.D., the Vice Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, Michael Brauser, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and another investor (collectively, the “Promissory Note Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued Promissory Notes of $5.0 million to Frost Gamma, $4.0 million to Michael Brauser, and $1.0 million to another investor, for an aggregate financing in the amount of $10.0 million. The Promissory Note Investors received (i) a promissory note in the principal amount equal to the amount of their respective promissory notes, with a rate of interest of 10% per annum, which interest shall be capitalized monthly by adding to the outstanding principal amount of such Promissory Notes, and (ii) a grant of 100 shares of convertible Series B preferred stock (“Series B Preferred”) for each $1.0 million increment of their respective Promissory Notes, with a total of 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred granted (“Promissory Note Shares”), pursuant to fee letter agreements. Each share of Series B Preferred automatically converted into 50 shares of common stock in February 2016.

Under the terms of the Promissory Notes, the Company is required to repay the principal and all accrued interest six months after the repayment of all amounts due under the Credit Agreement, except that the Company may repay the Promissory Notes earlier from the proceeds of a round of public equity financing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company repaid accrued paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest of $533, $426, and $107 to Frost Gamma, Michael Brauser and another investor, respectively.

The fair value of Promissory Note Shares of $413 was calculated by multiplying the closing common stock market price of the Company on December 8, 2015 of $8.45, with the total shares granted, as converted, which was recognized as debt issuance costs.

In connection with the Promissory Notes, on December 8, 2015, the Company, each lender under the Promissory Notes, and the Term Loan Agent, etc. entered into a Subordination Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”), pursuant to which the debt under the Promissory Notes was made expressly subordinate to the debt under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Subordination Agreement restricts the terms of the Promissory Notes. The terms of the Subordination Agreement shall remain in effect until such time that all obligations under the Credit Agreement are paid in full.

The net balance of Promissory Notes is presented as promissory notes payable to certain shareholders, net, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Fair value

As mentioned above, the Company’s long-term debt outstanding as of September 30, 2017 represented 1) the Term Loans with interest at LIBOR (with a floor of 0.5%) plus 10.5% per annum and 2) the Promissory Notes pursuant to the agreements effective December 8, 2015, with a rate of interest of 10% per annum. Considering the Term Loans have a variable interest rate, and interest rates have been relatively stable, we regard the fair values of the long-term debt to approximate their carrying amount as of September 30, 2017. This fair value assessment represents Level 2 measurements.

Income taxes	9 Months Ended
Income taxes	Sep. 30, 2017
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income taxes	6. Income taxes The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States. Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated annual tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. The Company’s effective income tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the effective income tax rate was 0%, and the difference is mainly the result of the full valuation allowance applied against the Company’s deferred tax assets and state income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the effective income tax rate was 32% and 33%, respectively, and this difference is primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses. The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company has recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the Company’s financial statements. The balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $1,668. In the Company’s tax return filed for the year ended December 31, 2015, a loss of $4,375, resulting from the disposal of all assets and liabilities related to the Company’s Chinese and British Virgin Islands based subsidiaries (collectively, the “Advertising Business”) in 2015, was included. This uncertain tax position of $1,668 is reflected as a reduction in deferred tax assets. Based on management’s assessment, no tax benefit has been recognized for the loss mentioned above. This unrecognized tax benefit, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s annual effective tax rate before application of any valuation allowance. The Company has not accrued any interest or penalties as of September 30, 2017 with respect to its uncertain tax positions. The Company does not anticipate a significant increase or reduction in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Equity [Abstract]
Common stock, treasury stock and warrants	7. Common stock, treasury stock and warrants Common stock As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the number of issued shares of common stock was 56,418,136 and 53,717,996, respectively, which included shares of treasury stock of 352,523 and 160,235, respectively. The change in the number of issued shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was due to the issuance of an aggregate of 2,700,140 shares of common stock from the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and the issuance of restricted stock, including 192,288 shares of common stock withheld to pay withholding taxes upon such vesting, which are reflected in treasury stock. Treasury stock As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company held shares of treasury stock of 352,523 and 160,235, with a cost of $1,274 and $531, respectively. This increase in treasury stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was due to shares withheld to pay withholding taxes upon the vesting of RSUs. Warrants As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,220,102 shares of common stock were outstanding, with exercise prices ranging from $3.75 to $10.00 per share.

Share-based payments

8. Share-based payments

As of September 30, 2017, the Company maintains two share-based incentive plans: the 2008 Share Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”), which was carried forward as a result of the reverse acquisition between the Company and The Best One, Inc. (“TBO”) consummated on March 21, 2015, whereby TBO became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “TBO Merger”), and the Cogint, Inc. 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), approved during the annual meeting of stockholders on June 2, 2015, which authorized the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of common stock. The total shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan was increased on June 3, 2016 to 12,500,000 shares, and subsequently increased on September 6, 2017 to 13,500,000 shares, which subsequent increase becomes effective 20 days after the mailing of the stockholder notice on Schedule 14C. The primary purpose of the 2015 Plan is to attract, retain, reward and motivate certain individuals by providing them with an opportunity to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in the Company and to incentivize them to expend maximum effort for the growth and success of the Company, so as to strengthen the mutuality of the interests between such individuals and the stockholders of the Company.

As of September 30, 2017, there were 180,568 and 3,838,658 shares (inclusive of the increase of 1,000,000 shares to the 2015 Plan approved on September 6, 2017) of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan and the 2015 Plan, respectively.

Shares issued outside of the 2008 Plan and 2015 Plan

The following RSUs were issued outside of the 2008 Plan and 2015 Plan:

Marlin Capital Investments, LLC (“Marlin Capital”), a company which our Chairman Michael Brauser owns 50% and is one of two managers, holds RSUs representing the right to receive 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which RSUs are outside of the 2008 Plan and 2015 Plan. These RSUs vest annually beginning from October 13, 2015 only if certain performance goals of the Company are met. The shares underlying such RSUs will not be delivered until October 13, 2018, unless there is a change of control of the Company. Share-based compensation expenses of $315 and $315 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $937 and $937 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, associated with shares under the Marlin Capital agreement, were recognized.

Effective November 16, 2015, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Michael Brauser (the “Michael Brauser Employment Agreement”) relating to his service as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, pursuant to which, Michael Brauser will receive an annual base salary of $25 payable in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices and RSUs outside of the 2008 Plan and 2015 Plan representing the right to receive 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The issuance of shares of common stock underlying the RSUs was approved by the stockholders at the annual meeting in 2016. These RSUs vest ratably over a four-year period; provided, however, that no portion of the RSUs shall vest unless and until the Company has gross revenue in excess of $100.0 million and positive EBITDA in any one fiscal year during the vesting period (the “Vesting Conditions”). In addition, such RSUs vest in full upon a Company change in control, termination of Michael Brauser without cause, termination by Michael Brauser for good reason, or Michael Brauser’s death or disability. The Company determined that the Vesting Conditions were met, effective March 14, 2017, and as a result, 1,250,000 shares were vested, but Michael Brauser has elected to defer delivery of any vested RSUs until his separation from service from the Company or death or disability. Effective on June 23, 2017, the Michael Brauser Employment Agreement was terminated. Mr. Brauser continues to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. On September 6, 2017, the Company entered into a consulting services agreement with Mr. Brauser, effective on June 23, 2017, for a term of four years (the “Consulting Agreement”), under which Mr. Brauser will serve as a strategic advisor to cogint but will receive no salary for such services. In consideration for Mr. Brauser’s services, the Consulting Agreement provides for continued vesting on all outstanding RSUs granted to Mr. Brauser before the effective date of the Consulting Agreement.

On December 8, 2015, at the time Dr. Phillip Frost joined the Board of Directors of the Company as Vice Chairman, Frost Gamma was granted 3,000,000 RSUs, outside of the 2008 Plan and 2015 Plan. The issuance of shares of common stock underlying such RSUs was approved by the stockholders at the annual meeting in 2016. These grants were fully vested on December 8, 2015, but Frost Gamma has elected to defer delivery of any vested RSUs until Dr. Phillip Frost’s separation from service from the Company or death or disability.

Share options

Details of share options activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were as follows:

	Number of options		Weighted average exercise price per share		Weighted average remaining contractual term	Aggregate intrinsic value

Unvested as of December 31, 2016		68,750		$	8.91	8.9 years
Vested		(11,250	)	$	7.44
Unvested as of September 30, 2017		57,500		$	9.19	8.2 years

Compensation expenses recognized from employee stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 of $31 and $35, respectively, and $91 and $82 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were recognized in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2017, unrecognized share-based compensation cost relating to granted share options amounted to $274, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

⁽¹⁾	650,000 shares of restricted stock were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 150,000 shares of restricted stock were unvested as of September 30, 2017.

⁽²⁾	As discussed in Note 7, the increase in treasury stock was due to shares withheld to pay statutory withholding taxes upon the vesting of RSUs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

⁽³⁾	Vested not delivered represent the vested RSUs with deferred delivery at a future time. As of September 30, 2017, the cumulative shares of RSUs included in “vested not delivered” above were 5,767,668.

The Company recognized share-based compensation (included in sales and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and intangible assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets) for these RSUs and restricted stock of $11,461 and $7,615 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $28,613 and $22,561 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The fair value of the RSUs and restricted stock was estimated using the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which was equivalent to the closing price of the common stock on the grant date.

As of September 30, 2017, unrecognized share-based compensation expenses associated with the granted RSUs and restricted stock amounted to $59,625, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

The terms of the settlement agreement are confidential. The Company recorded the expense of $7,000 in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, the remaining unpaid balance of $5,000 was reflected in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For a description of the legal proceedings settled in the TRADS Litigation Settlement, see Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1 of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Following the TRADS Litigation Settlement, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceeding, investigation or claim which, in the opinion of the management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal fees associated with such legal proceedings, are expensed as incurred. We review legal proceedings and claims on an ongoing basis and follow appropriate accounting guidance, including ASC 450, when making accrual and disclosure decisions. We establish accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and we disclose the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, we evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. We do not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated.

In addition, we may be involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty and we cannot assure you that the ultimate resolution of any legal or administrative proceeding or dispute will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Business Combinations Agreement	Sep. 30, 2017
Business Combination Agreement [Abstract]
Business Combination Agreement	12. Business Combination Agreement On September 6, 2017, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with BlueFocus International Limited (“BlueFocus”), a private company limited by shares registered in Hong Kong. Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company will issue to BlueFocus shares of the Company’s common stock, representing 63% of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted, post-transaction basis (the “Purchased Shares”). In consideration of the Purchased Shares, BlueFocus will contribute to the Company (i) all of the issued and outstanding membership interests, shares of capital stock, and/or other equity interests of certain entities (the “Contributed Entities”), (ii) $100.0 million in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and if applicable, certain net working capital adjustments, and (iii) repay, assume, or refinance indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company as of the Closing (as defined below). We refer to the issuance of the Purchased Shares in consideration of the contribution of the Contributed Entities and the Cash Consideration, together with the Cash Dividend hereinafter described, as the “Business Combination Transaction.” As a condition to closing the Business Combination Transaction (the “Closing”), immediately before Closing, cogint will contribute its data and analytics operations and assets (the “IDI Business”) into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Red Violet, Inc. (“Red Violet”). The shares of Red Violet will be distributed as a stock dividend (the “Spin-Off”) to cogint stockholders of record as of the record date (the “Record Date”) and to holders of derivative securities who are entitled to participate in such a dividend in accordance with the terms of their securities. Before the Company effects the Spin-Off, Red Violet will file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form 10 (the “Form 10”), registering under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the shares of Red Violet to be distributed in the Spin-Off. As a result, upon completion of the Spin-Off, cogint stockholders will hold shares of two public companies, cogint and Red Violet. We expect cogint common stock to continue trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “NASDAQ”) and we intend to apply for listing the Red Violet shares on NASDAQ. The Cash Consideration, after deductions for certain transaction expenses and an amount up to $20.0 million to capitalize Red Violet at the time of the Spin-Off, will be distributed pro rata as a cash dividend or payment (the “Cash Dividend”) to the holders of cogint common stock and the holders of certain warrants of the Company. The Cash Dividend is contingent on Closing. Before the Record Date, cogint expects to accelerate the vesting of all outstanding RSUs and deliver all shares of common stock underlying such RSUs so that such shares will participate in the Spin-Off and Cash Dividend pro rata. Also, before the Record Date, cogint expects to vest all outstanding stock options, and any options not exercised before the Record Date will terminate on the Record Date, except for options issued under the 2015 Plan, which will terminate immediately before the Closing. Options outstanding but unexercised on the Record Date will not be equitably adjusted in respect of the Spin-off, the Cash Dividend, or otherwise. Shares issued pursuant to any option exercised before the Record Date will participate in the Spin-off and Cash Dividend pro rata. In addition, before the Record Date, cogint expects to vest all outstanding shares of restricted stock, so that such shares will participate in the Spin-off and Cash Dividend pro rata, and holders of warrants to purchase cogint common stock will participate in the Spin-off and Cash Dividend pro rata, in accordance with the terms of their warrants. There are certain conditions to the Closing and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, which include the receipt of the required Company stockholders’ approval, the consent under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”) and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) approval, the effectiveness of the Form 10 and consummation of the Spin-Off, the approval by NASDAQ of the listing of the Purchased Shares, and others.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent events	13. Subsequent events Intracoastal and Anson Warrant Amendments On October 17, 2017, the Company entered into certain amendment agreements (collectively, the “Intracoastal and Anson Warrant Amendments”) with warrant holders, representing a total of 861,769 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock, previously granted to Intracoastal Capital, LLC (“Intracoastal”) and Anson Investments Master Fund LP (“Anson”). Pursuant to the Warrant Amendments, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of all common stock warrants described above to $3.00 per share, and Intracoastal and Anson separately agreed to exercise all common stock warrants held by them. The proceeds from the exercise were approximately $2.6 million, which were received in October 2017. The Intracoastal and Anson Warrant Amendments also provide that the Company deliver to each of Anson and Intracoastal an additional warrant for common stock equal to 25% of the number of shares exercised, at an exercise price of $5.35 per share (collectively, the “Additional Warrants”). The Additional Warrants provided to Intracoastal and Anson are exercisable into 184,193 shares and 31,250 shares of common stock, respectively. The Additional Warrants are exercisable from the date of issuance and expire on the earlier of the close of business on the two-year anniversary of (i) the date the registration statement registering the resale of the underlying shares is declared effective by the SEC, or (ii) the commencement date that such Additional Warrant may be exercised by means of a “cashless exercise.” These Additional Warrants do not participate in the Cash Dividend or Spin-Off of the Business Combination Transaction. Whitehorse Warrant Amendments On November 3, 2017, the Company entered into warrant amendments (the "Whitehorse Warrant Amendments") with H.I.G. Whitehorse SMA ABF, L.P., H.I.G. Whitehorse SMA Holdings I, LLC and Whitehorse Finance, Inc., regarding an aggregate of 300,000 Whitehorse Warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock (the “Whitehorse Shares”), at an original exercise price of $5.0829 per share. Pursuant to the Whitehorse Warrant Amendments, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of all common stock warrants described above to $3.00 per share, and each warrant holder set forth above separately agreed to exercise all common stock warrants held by them within 30 days. Pursuant to the terms of the Whitehorse Warrant Amendments, the warrant holders are prohibited from engaging or otherwise agreeing to any sale, pledge, or other transfer of the Whitehorse Shares for a period of 120 days (the “Whitehorse Lock-Up Period”) following the exercise of such warrants in full. Following the Whitehorse Lock-Up Period, (i) the warrant holders may only sell such number of shares underlying the warrants representing up to 5% of the Company’s daily trading volume on the immediately prior trading day prior to a sale and (ii) the warrant holders may not transfer any of the Whitehorse Shares for less than $4.50 per share, provided that the warrant holders may not transfer any Whitehorse Shares unless the Company has an effective registration statement permitting the resale of the Whitehorse Shares. Provided that such warrant holders have exercised the Whitehorse Warrants, upon either the Record Date or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, such warrant holders can require the Company to purchase from them all the Whitehorse Shares at a price of $4.50 per share. Acquisition consideration payable in stock In relation to the Q Interactive Acquisition, Selling Source, LLC (“Selling Source”), the seller, was entitled to receive additional consideration as it was concluded that the earn-out target (the “Q Interactive Earn-out Target”) specified in the purchase agreement had been met. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, after certain measurement period adjustments, the net balance of acquisition consideration payable in stock of $10,225 was recognized. We used the probability-weighted method to determine the fair value of the acquisition consideration payable in stock, and this fair value assessment represents Level 3 measurements. It is classified as a non-current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets because this liability will be settled with the Company’s common stock. On November 3, 2017, the Company issued a total of 2,750,000 shares of common stock to settle the acquisition consideration payable in stock.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Sep. 30, 2017
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of preparation and liquidity	(a) Basis of preparation and liquidity The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared for Cogint, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for any future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2017. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016 Form 10-K”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date included in the 2016 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by US GAAP. Reclassifications Certain prior period items, including write-off of long-lived assets, have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Principles of consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Recently issued accounting standards	(b) Recently issued accounting standards In May 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” (“ASU 2016-08”), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in evaluating whether it controls the good or the service before it is transferred to the customer. The new revenue recognition standard will be effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, that is, the first quarter of 2018. The new standard also permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). We currently do not plan to early adopt ASU 2014-09, and we anticipate adopting the standard using the modified retrospective method. We plan to have our preliminary assessment on the impact this guidance will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in the fourth quarter of 2017. In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), “Leases (Topic 842),” which generally requires companies to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet. This guidance will be effective in the first quarter of 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. We are still evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, an option to recognize gross share-based compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017 on a retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded an increase to the deferred tax asset balance and an increase to the corresponding valuation allowance of $301 related to the cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2017. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded tax expense of $482 and $2,451, respectively, which was offset by a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 (“ASU 2016-15”), “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which provides guidance for certain cash flow issues, including contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, etc. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. We are still evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 (“ASU 2016-18”), “Restricted Cash,” which requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard on January 1, 2018, and the standard will result in changes to its consolidated statements of cash flows such that restricted cash amounts will be included in the beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash and cash equivalents totals. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04 (“ASU 2017-04”), “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2020 on a prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
