D. Cookies and similar technologies. Some of the automatic collection described above is facilitated by the following technologies:
Cookies, which are small text files that websites store on user devices and that allow web servers to record users’ web browsing activities and remember their cart contents, submissions, preferences, and login status as they navigate a site. Cookies used on our sites include both “session cookies” that are deleted when a session ends, “persistent cookies” that remain longer, “first party” cookies that we place and “third party” cookies that our third-party business partners and service providers place.
Local storage technologies, like HTML5, which provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.
Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.
For further information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control and, in some cases, disable cookies in connection with our Service, please see our Neon Cookie Notice.
E. Data about others.

Neon may act as a processor when we act on the instructions of or on behalf of a business customer, and as a controller when Neon is deciding how to process your personal information directly. This Policy describes the processing undertaken by Neon as a controller.
