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.
