Neowize is an AI driven optimisation platform for ecommerce stores. It captures behavioural events on the storefront, builds predictive models of intent and abandonment, and proposes UX experiments, on site personalisation, and product recommendation rules. The platform integrates with Shopify, BigCommerce, custom storefronts, and major analytics tools. ## **What Neowize does** A JavaScript SDK injected on the storefront emits behavioural events (pageview, scroll, add to cart, checkout step) to the Neowize backend. Order data is sent server side via the platform integration. Neowize aggregates everything, runs prediction models, and exposes a dashboard of recommended changes, plus an SDK that can apply personalisation rules client side. ## **Cookies and data collected** Neowize sets first party cookies on the merchant domain (nw\_uid, nw\_session, nw\_test) and may store experiment assignments in localStorage. It collects IP, user agent, referrer, page URL, behavioural events, cart content, and order amount when an order is placed. ## **GDPR and ePrivacy implications** Behavioural tracking and personalisation are not strictly necessary, so the Neowize SDK requires consent under Article 5(3) ePrivacy. Neowize acts as a processor for the merchant; certain aggregated AI models may be used to improve its own product under an independent controller role. Disclose Neowize in your privacy notice. ## **Data hosting and transfers** Neowize is primarily hosted on AWS in Ireland for European customers. Some support and analytics subprocessors are based in the United States. Transfers to non EU subprocessors rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and on Standard Contractual Clauses. The DPA lists the current subprocessors. ## **How to deploy it compliantly** Sign the DPA, opt for EU residency, gate the SDK behind consent in your CMP, separate analytics and personalisation categories, minimise the event payload, and document Neowize in your record of processing activities. For experiments that may impact pricing or eligibility, evaluate the EU AI Act obligations. Compliance ## Neowize and the GDPR Neowize is classified as “Analytics”. On a site that targets European visitors, it must only load after the visitor consents, and it must be listed in your cookie policy. - Legal basis Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for behavioural tracking and personalisation, contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b)) for strictly necessary commerce flows - Risk level medium - Applicable regulations GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, EU AI Act for personalisation features, EU-US Data Privacy Framework ### Impact assessment (DPIA) A DPIA is recommended on EU consumer flows.

Write to us, we answer fast. [Write to us](https://www.flowconsent.com/en/demo) ### What cookies does Neowize set? Neowize sets first party cookies on the merchant domain (nw\_uid for the visitor ID, nw\_session for the session, nw\_test for experiment assignment). Behavioural events are stored on the Neowize backend with a derived identifier. ### Does Neowize require GDPR consent? Yes. Tracking, personalisation and AI driven experiments are not strictly necessary. Article 5(3) ePrivacy requires consent before the Neowize SDK loads. ### What is the legal basis for processing? Consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR for tracking and personalisation. Contract performance under Article 6(1)(b) for any strictly necessary cart or checkout functionality powered by the integration. ### Are data transferred outside the EU? Mostly no for the core platform, which runs on AWS in Ireland. Some support and analytics subprocessors are in the United States. Transfers to non EU subprocessors rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and on SCCs. ### Do I need a DPIA? A DPIA is recommended on consumer flows where AI driven personalisation can impact pricing or eligibility. Document the events captured, the predictive model, the retention, and the access controls. ### How do I implement Neowize compliantly? Sign the DPA, choose EU residency, gate the SDK behind consent in your CMP, split analytics and personalisation categories, minimise the event payload, and evaluate the EU AI Act for experiments that influence eligibility or pricing. ### Are there alternatives to Neowize? Alternatives include Dynamic Yield, Bloomreach Engagement, Nosto, Insider, ContentSquare and Optimizely Web Experimentation, plus open source tools like GrowthBook. Choose based on EU hosting, AI explainability, and ecommerce integration depth. ### How do I update my cookie policy for Neowize? Add a Neowize entry covering the nw\_uid, nw\_session and nw\_test cookies with lifetime and purpose. Mention the EU hosting, the US subprocessors, the role of Neowize as processor, and link to its privacy notice.
