In the real world, privacy means being able to do things without others knowing. This can be as simple as reading a magazine in our living room. Similarly, when we say something confidential to a friend (and say so!), we expect that conversation to stay private. So, how does that translate to the online world?

What does "Privacy" mean online?
In the online world, privacy can be thought of as the reasonable expectation that the site or app or device we are interacting with keeps our interactions confidential. And that we are free from others - “third parties” - from observing what we do, especially surreptitiously.
At Neeva, this is the ideal we aspire to: to put you back in control of your digital life. See more about our point of view in our Digital Bill of Rights.
How does Neeva help protect my privacy?
Search is one of the most commonly used and deeply personal function in our lives. Neeva maintains your privacy by never selling your data or sharing it with advertisers. We also help you maintain data privacy by blocking third-party trackers on websites other than Neeva with our browser extension.
What are cookies?
If you’re unfamiliar with the term, a “cookie” is a packet of data sent by a web server to a browser, which is used to identify the user or track their access to the server.
First-party cookies are directly stored by the website you visit. These cookies allow website owners to collect analytics data, remember language settings, and perform other useful functions that provide a good user experience.
Third-party cookies are created by companies that are not the website (or domain) that you are visiting. These are usually used for the purpose of online advertising and placed on a website through a script or tag. A third-party cookie is accessible on any website that loads the third-party server’s code.
What's the major difference in first-party cookies and third-party cookies?
Third-party cookies are created by companies that are not the website (or domain) that you are visiting. These are usually used for the purpose of online advertising and placed on a website through a script or tag. A third-party cookie is accessible on any website that loads the third-party server’s code.
What should I do when I see trackers on the Neeva extension?
You don’t need to do anything! The Neeva Extension is already blocking the tracking cookies and requests, so there’s no action you need to take on your part.
