Do Not Track with Cookies

Heatmap.com respects user privacy and complies with "Do Not Track" (DNT) requests. Here's what you need to know about our approach to tracking and cookies:

What is "Do Not Track"?

"Do Not Track" is a web browser setting that requests websites not to track your online activities.

How Heatmap.com Handles DNT Requests

1. **No Cookie Tracking:** When a DNT signal is detected, Heatmap.com does not set any cookies on the user's browser.

2. **Session-Based Analytics:** We still collect anonymous, aggregated data for website analytics, but this information is not tied to any individual user or stored long-term.

3. **No Cross-Site Tracking:** We do not track users across different websites or share data with third-party advertising networks.

What This Means for Website Owners

- You can use Heatmap.com while respecting your visitors' privacy choices.

- Some advanced features that rely on user-specific data may have limited functionality for users with DNT enabled.

- Overall site analytics will still provide valuable insights without compromising individual privacy.

How to Verify DNT Compliance

To check if Heatmap.com is respecting DNT signals on your site:

1. Enable DNT in your browser settings.

2. Visit your website with Heatmap.com installed.

3. Check your browser's cookie storage - you should not see any Heatmap.com cookies.

For more information on our privacy practices, please refer to our [Privacy Policy](link-to-privacy-policy).

If you have any questions about DNT or our data collection practices, please contact our support team at support@heatmap.com.
