How do heatmaps handle clicks on sticky/fixed headers and navbars?

A sticky/fixed header or navbar is one that remains visible on a webpage, usually at the top or side of the page, regardless of how far a user has scrolled.

Heatmaps capture a snapshot of the page upon initial load and then track all clicks, mouse movements, and page scrolling. If you have a sticky header/navbar, any clicks on the header/navbar while scrolling will be displayed at the initial position of the header/navbar as captured during the initial page load.

Note: The behaviour described here is a general guideline. Depending on your specific implementation of headers and navbars, your experience with how heatmaps track these elements may vary.
