COOKIE POLICY FOR OUR WEBSITEs WWW.HELIONRESEARCH.COM

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small bits of data that websites store on the device (computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc.) that are used during your access of our online websites, mobile apps, and services (collectively referred to as the “Platform”). You can read more about cookies generally on Wikipedia.

This Cookie Policy describes what information our cookies and similar technologies gather, how we use it, why we store these cookies and for how long.

What Cookies Do We Use?

The Platform uses first-party cookies (cookies set by the parts of the Platform you are visiting), and third-party cookies (cookies set by a server outside of the Platform, i.e. NewRelic, KangaCoders, GoogleAnalytics).

In addition to Functionality Cookies, which enable various platform features and deliver requested data, our website incorporates embedded YouTube videos that utilize Functional Cookies. These cookies enhance the video playback experience. We also employ Cloudflare cookies to differentiate between genuine visitors and automated bots, adding an extra layer of security. 

Specific cookies that the Platform sets are below:
