Cookies Policy
Open Credit Technologies Inc., dba as Heron Data (herein afterwards referred to as “Heron Data”) believes in transparency about collection and use of data. This policy provides information about how and when Heron Data uses cookies and similar technologies. Capitalized terms used in this policy but not defined have the meaning set forth in our Privacy Policy.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files sent by us to your computer or mobile device, which enable Heron Data features and functionality. Session-based cookies last only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies last until you or your browser delete them, or until they expire. This policy also covers similar technologies such as pixels, tags, web beacons and browser storage.
Does Heron Data use cookies?
Yes. Heron Data uses both session-based and persistent cookies, and sets and accesses them on the domains operated by Heron Data and its corporate affiliates (collectively, the “Sites”). In addition, Heron Data uses third-party cookies and similar technologies for analytics and advertising, which are listed below.
How is Heron Data using cookies?
Some cookies are strictly necessary to operate the Sites and to remember the consent choice you make in our cookie banner. Others are not tied to your account but allow us to carry out analytics and measure our marketing.
Categories of use
- Strictly necessary: required for the Sites to function, and to record your cookie consent choice.
- Performance, analytics and research: help us understand how the Sites perform and how visitors use them, so we can improve them.
- Marketing and advertising: help us measure and deliver marketing campaigns. Our advertising partners may combine information about your activity on our Sites with information they already hold about your activity on other websites and services.
What third-party cookies and technologies does Heron Data use?
Heron Data currently uses the following third-party providers:
- Cookiebot (Usercentrics) ⇒ Strictly necessary — records your cookie consent choice
- Google Analytics 4 ⇒ Performance, analytics and research
- PostHog ⇒ Performance, analytics and research
- Ahrefs Analytics ⇒ Performance, analytics and research
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel ⇒ Marketing and advertising
- LinkedIn Insight Tag ⇒ Marketing and advertising
- ZoomInfo WebSights ⇒ Marketing and advertising
Heron Data does its best to keep this list updated, but please note that the number and names of cookies, pixels and other technologies may change from time to time.
What can you do if you don’t want cookies to be set?
When you first visit our Sites you are shown a cookie consent banner. Analytics and marketing cookies and similar technologies are not loaded until you accept them, and if you decline, they are not set. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by reopening the banner from the cookie settings link on our Sites. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking some categories may affect your experience on our website.
Does Heron Data respond to Do Not Track signals?
Our Sites use analytics and advertising technologies provided by third parties. These may collect information about your activity on our Sites and, in the case of our advertising partners, may combine it with information they already hold about your activity on other websites and services. The categories and providers are listed above. Because there is no uniform industry standard for how “do not track” browser signals should be interpreted, Heron Data does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to them. You can give, withdraw or change your consent at any time using the cookie banner on our Sites, and you can block or delete cookies through your browser settings.
