A few questions for the sake of coherence:
1) If hero calls, for example, UTG raise from BTN, is that technically a Cold call?
2) Is overcalling still considered Cold calling?
3) Is there a difference between Cold calling and flat calling?

The answer for the first question is yes (I said no before, but I had forgotten about the blinds :p), as for the second one... no.
Yes, theres a difference between cold call and flat call:
Cold call is calling an amount that is a sum of multiple bets - for example - UTG bets, CO raises, BU calls.
Flat call is calling when a raise is expected, example, you have AA, the flop is Axx, you bet, villain raise, you just call.

1) yes
2) i'd say no, but i'm not sure. i guess it depends on why you're looking at the situation
3) yes. the term flatcall is generally used to contrast calling with raising, when raising is also a reasonable option
Cold call is calling an amount that is a sum of multiple bets - for example - UTG bets, CO raises, BU calls.
So consequently calling a cBet on the flop is not cold calling, since there is only 1 bet, whereas on the flop you already have the blinds, which is the first bet, and the raise (2nd bet)?

I'm asking because I am curious whether the Call Open stat in HEM2 (which, as far as I understand, technically accounts for ColdCalling openraises) accounts for overcalls as well. No ideas?

Unless someone raises the cbet and you call, it's not cold calling, it may be a flat call though. Preflop the blinds are the 1st bet, the raise is the second one, so the call is a cold call.

if that doesnt work you can always ask at the HEM support forums
