Our Cookie Policy
Welcome to Horizon Financial Partners. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding them on our website. We are committed to transparency and ensuring you understand how your data is handled when you interact with us online.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. These files allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. They also help in collecting information about how you use the website.
How We Use Cookies
At Horizon Financial Partners, we use cookies for several purposes. Our primary goals are to enhance your user experience, understand how our website is used, and provide relevant services and marketing. We use cookies to:
- Improve Website Functionality: To ensure our website performs correctly and that you can navigate and use its features seamlessly. This includes remembering your preferences and settings.
- Analyze User Behavior: To gather anonymous statistical data on how visitors interact with our website. This helps us understand which pages are popular, how visitors navigate the site, and identify areas for improvement.
- Personalize Your Experience: To tailor content and offers based on your past browsing activity and preferences, making your interactions more relevant and efficient.
- Marketing and Advertising: To deliver targeted advertisements that may be of interest to you, both on our website and on other platforms.
Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies we use into the following types:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function correctly. They are essential for you to browse our website, use its features, and access secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like remembering your login details or filling in forms, cannot be provided. We do not need to obtain your consent for these cookies as they are fundamental to the operation of our website.
Analytical/Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website. They help us understand which pages are visited most frequently, how visitors move around the site, and if they get error messages from web pages. The information gathered is used to improve how our website works. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, a functional cookie might be used to remember your preferences for language settings. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post.
Marketing/Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Often, targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the third party.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on. For example, we may use Google Analytics to help us understand how users engage with our website. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit Google's privacy page .
Cookie Duration
We use both "session" cookies and "persistent" cookies.
- Session Cookies: These are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They are typically used to maintain session state, like keeping you logged in as you navigate different pages.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a longer period, as specified in the cookie's file. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. They are used for remembering preferences and for tracking your browsing behaviour over time.
