6. Cookies
When you visit the Site, we use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you leave the Site and close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period. These cookies give the Company information about your use of the Service. You may remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to use the Service. Company may also use pixels, widgets, and other tools to gather such information to improve the experience of the Site.

On our Site, we use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate the Site by remembering your locale preferences and to improve and track the overall Site experience.

Persistent cookies enable us to track, store and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Site. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Site, but your ability to use some areas of our Site may be limited, as refusing cookies disables our ability to include information about your visit in our regular monitoring of Site traffic.
7. Third Party Analytics Tools
In addition to the personally identifiable information, you voluntarily provide to us, the Company utilizes analytics tools including third party technologies, including Google Analytics, to collect non-personally identifiable information utilizing cookies. Certain types of information, including geolocation, device type, onsite website usage and behavior, demographic data, and purchase history, is collected and aggregated across the Site users for our analysis and advertising efforts.
The Company uses Remarketing with Google Analytics and Google Adwords to display relevant advertisements to users who have previously visited our Site. Referred to as remarketing or retargeting, the Company may utilize previous session information to serve display advertisements to you on the Site and based on such session information Google may set a cookie and serve ads to you on third party websites on the Google Display Network. Third party vendors such as Google may display Company ads on websites across the Internet. Aggregated user data may be utilized to create remarketing/retargeting “lists,” or groups of users with similar onsite behaviors or demographics.
The Company also uses Google Display Network Impression Reporting and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting and Interest-Based Advertising to display advertisements to users based on their inferred interests and demographics. The Company does not run interest-based advertising campaigns that collect personally identifiable information.
Users may learn more about Google Analytics use of cookies by visiting the Google Privacy and Terms page at https://policies.google.com/. You can opt-out of having your site activity available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (gtag.js, analytics.js) that is running on websites from sharing information with Google Analytics about visit activity. Using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on will not prevent site owners from using other tools to measure site analytics. It does not prevent data from being sent to the website itself or in other ways to web analytics services.
This website may use third-party analytics tool, to track page content and click/touch, movement, scroll, and keystroke activity.
8. Links to Third Party Sites
The Site may provide links to other Web sites or resources over which Heritage does not have control (“External Web Sites”). Such links do not constitute an endorsement by Heritage of those External Web Sites. You acknowledge that Heritage is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and further agree that Heritage is not responsible for the content of such External Web Sites. Your use of External Web Sites is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies located on the linked to External Web Sites.
9. Security

10. Notice to European Users
This Site and the Service are targeted for users in the United States of America. Any information you enter on this Site may be transferred outside of the European Union to the United States of America which does not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in the European Union. In particular, you are advised that the United States of America uses a sectoral model of privacy protection that relies on a mix of legislation, governmental regulation, and self-regulation. Article 26 of the European Union’s Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC, 1995 O.J. (L 281) 31) allows for transfer of personal data from the European Union to a third country if the individual has unambiguously given his consent to the transfer of personal information, regardless of the third country’s level of protection. By using this Site or the services, you consent to the transfer of all such information to the United States of America which may not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in the European Union and to the processing of that information by Heritage on its servers located in the United States of America as described in this Policy.
